Mindful Creative South Indian Vegetarian Cooking Classes
In these private, small group sessions, learn to prepare delicisous vegetarian meals. While most Indian restaurants feature the cuisine of Northern India, Radha Lakshmi will teach you how to prepare authentic South Indian Vegetarian and Vegan recipes that you will not find in restaurants. Traditional South Indian cooking is known for inventive vegetarian or vegan cuisine; that is light, fresh and tasty- with lots of fresh veggies & herbs, lemon, lime, coconut and fried spices. The menus are made up of family recipes passed down from her grandmother and mother from Kerala and Chennai, India.
You will learn why a root, a shoot, a leaf and a seed is so important in your daily consumption. Learn about Indian spices, culture & tradition and some of the myths of Indian cooking.
