Since Yamini can’t physically welcome you into her home, she wants to do so virtually!
Our online classes are designed to be special, meaningful opportunities to share cooking, culture, and connection--just like our real life experiences. We want you to cook along, and we promise there will be plenty of time for questions, conversation, and stories. It will all end with a virtual dinner party where you'll get to share in the fruits of your labor, apart, but together!
In this 2.5 hour interactive online experience Yamini will guide you through making two of her family recipes. During your class, you'll prepare Yamini's khichadi (mixed lentils and basmati rice). Then, you'll learn how to make cachumber (fresh cucumber and tomato salad).
