The
Parables of Jesus can be found in all the
gospels, except for John, and in some of the non-canonical gospels, but are located mainly within the three
synoptic gospels. They represent a key part of the
teachings of Jesus,
forming approximately one third of his recorded teachings.

Since Christ taught much more than just those parables then anyone who asserts that Christ always taught in parables is a liar.
Jesus taught always in parables.
A quick example is;
Matthew 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth
it not, then cometh the wicked
one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
20But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
22He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
23But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth
it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Christ taught his disciples the meanings of that which was hidden to others. Apparently the veil of this truth is still in place for some.
