About Rajul

Rajul Desai is a retired caterer and chef who now teaches small cooking classes.

In Rajul's words

Hello, and welcome! I'm Rajul Desai. My lifelong love affair with food began when I was just 13 years old, after winning first prize in an interstate cooking competition. That early spark set me on a delicious path that has lasted a lifetime.

In 1994, I started crafting specialty snacks, which naturally grew into a full-fledged catering business. For over 27 years, I ran a successful catering operation built on quality, consistency, and a zero-complaint record. Alongside my incredible team, I've had the joy of successfully cooking for crowds of up to 1,000 people without missing a beat, all while managing a demanding full-time career.

Now that I am officially retired, I am thrilled to dive back into my true passion: sharing the kitchen with others. I am excited to teach everyday home cooks how to recreate my original, self-developed recipes using approachable techniques that make flavorful cooking fun and accessible.

I can't wait to cook, learn, and share great food with you!
