Description
Food is tastier when there's a beautiful story associated with it and when a mouthful brings us back to a time we remember with happiness in our hearts! I hope to bring you that kind of experience through this cooking class.
I also hope to give you a window into the culinary & cultural heritage of India. From rich flavourful curries like butter chicken to aromatic rice and a wide variety of healthy and tasty Indian bread, you will learn about time-honored cooking techniques and the subtle nuances that can make all the difference. All of the recipes will be delicious, made to your spice preference, and, most of all, easy to replicate at home.
Learn about the spices of Indian cuisine and different cooking techniques, and you will soon be able to whip up Indian dishes in your own kitchen.

My friends and I LOVED the Indian cooking class with Neha (Saffron Palate). She was a delightful, knowledgeable host who made us feel welcome in her kitchen. We learned about things we'd never see staying home and yet it was all at the comfort of our computers. Neha was very organized, friendly, and really made the experience special for us. I highly recommend classes with her. A unique experience I'm telling everyone about. Her delicious foods made me so hungry and excited to try new things. So glad we did it!
