Home Cooks and Chefs
Indian Food Without the Gourmet Effort
I teach the art and science of Indian cooking to home cooks and chefs. I teach cooking classes in both my local area, and also travel around the country. I am an expert in tasty, healthy, and authentic Indian cooking, and have been teaching the art of Indian cooking since 1993. I teach individual classes, demos, and even 4-week series of classes.
Types of Classes
I am able to offer a variety of Indian cooking classes from novice to expert cooks.
- Cooking Demo
- Series of Indian Cooking Classes
- Training Chefs
- TV Shows
Training Chefs
I have also worked with FLIK cafeteria (Compass Group), and trained chefs and associates, in cooking authentic Indian meals. During my employment with FLIK International at Aetna in Hartford, CT, the cafeteria offered an Indian station, five days a week. The chefs followed my own recipes, and created authentic Indian meals.
