Dear friends,
We’ve had a wonderful time this summer cooking, laughing, and connecting in our group and corporate team-building classes, and I’m looking forward to doing even more of that this fall.
I’m thrilled with the interest in our upcoming classes and am sharing some of the scheduled offerings today.
Indian Vegan Cooking- Level 1
Friday September 25th, 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in Lexington, MA
Class begins with an introduction to the ‘masala dabba’ or a spice box that houses the commonly used spices in Indian cooking. Learn about the spices and spice mixes from sourcing to storing and using them in authentic Indian recipes. You will learn to make staples like fragrant and perfectly cooked Basmati rice, scrumptious and protein packed- dishes like Chana Masala -chickpea curry made with aromatics and spices, and flavorful and satisfying Tadka Dal -delectable lentils tempered with spices. All skill levels are welcome. This fun, interactive class will help you gain the knowledge and confidence to recreate these recipes in your own kitchen. We will sample our creations at the end of class.
Indian Vegan Cooking – Level 2: Expanding Flavors & Techniques.
Thursday October 1, 2026, 6:00 pm-8:30 p.m. in Lexington, MA
Building on the foundation from Level 1, this class introduces a few more essential Indian spices and deepens your understanding of traditional cooking methods. Along with the tempering technique, we will explore layering and enhancing the depth of flavors in vegan dishes while still keeping the process approachable. You will learn to make the popular Mixed Vegetable Korma from scratch. Korma is a luxurious, creamy dish that Jeera Rice pairs well with. Jeera Rice is a subtly spiced, aromatic rice dish made by infusing Basmati rice with the earthy flavor of whole cumin seeds and other spices. We will round off the meal with a Cabbage Subji, a vibrant and nutritious dry stir fry.

Reviews for Indfused Cooking Classes-
Thank you for another nice cooking class on Saturday. I enjoyed the class on a number of different levels – I continue to love to prepare the dishes in my kitchen, where I get to practice everything I need to know (including sourcing, preparing and cooking the ingredients). The Goan Fish Curry was especially fun for me, since in the past, I have shied away from cooking fish, simply due to lack of experience and confidence. The recipe you chose for Saturday’s class was straightforward, and easily replicable. And most importantly, it was delicious! -~ KF
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of taking part in a Zoom online cooking class taught by my blogger friend, Sandhya. It was most informative and great fun cooking along with her. We made a burrito bowl with a scrumptious vegetarian filling. The best part? You get to eat the bowl well done Sandhya! ~ LM
