Cooking classes for our grads!
I am pleased to offer FREE summer cooking classes for Grads in exchange for a small food donation.

Indian Cooking
Learning about Indian spices is the heart of Indian cooking. Blending spices is a science as well as an art that was used for over 5000 years in ancient Indian Ayurvedic Healing practices. This course attempts to demonstrate contrasting cooking styles and dishes from the Southern and Northern regions of India, and introduce the spices and ingredients used, as well as where to find them. Each sumptuous meal will be followed by a sweet dish and a cup of aromatic chai tea!
- Madras style
South Indian cuisine is well known for its simplicity in direct contrast to the rich and heavy spices used in Northern Indian cooking. A typical Thali (combination platter) consists of a light lentil crepe (Dosa) with a potato filling, served with sambar (lentil soup with vegetables), spicy coconut chutney, and basmati rice. - North Indian style
The popular request in this class is for "Butter Chicken" or Tandoori-style oven-roasted chicken, with a curried vegetable, Raita( yogurt sauce), served with chapati & fragrant Basmati rice. - Tappas or Street Food
These are the authentic foods of India available on the streets and open markets! They are enjoyed in all regions of India, and popular at any time of the day. Learn to make low-fat versions of these popular crispy pastries (samosas), meat kebobs, spicy chaats, and parathas served with various chutneys.
All meals will be accompanied by a delicious dessert and chai tea or mango lassi.
Cost: $50.00
Duration: 3 hours
Location: Your home or at a friend's. Limited to Vancouver BC and vicinity only.
