Cooking Class January 2021: Introduction to Indian Spices: Beyond Curry Powder
Attendee: "As a retired caterer/chef I thoroughly enjoyed the course. My knowledge of Indian cookery for the most part began and ended with curry powder so the breakdown to individual spices and combinations was helpful. Am planning to duplicate the kidney bean stew, zucchini and rice menu."
