Enjoy a cooking demonstration from instructor Jay Kumar! Indian cooking is usually an interesting and exotic journey through food. The attendees will learn about the health benefits of the spices used in cooking including a live demonstration. You will get to taste the lip-smacking foods in-person; touch and feel the spices first hand. Traditional Indian food is renowned worldwide for its wonderful use of herbs and spices, and its diverse range of deep-fried snacks, pastries, curries, gravies, sauces, rice dishes, tandoor- cooked meats, vegetable dishes, chutneys, breads and sweets. While some spices such as garlic, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper are generally familiar in the West, the delicately balanced blends of regional spices are what give Indian food its distinct depth of flavor. All ages welcome. Pre-registration is encouraged and begins August 24. For more information or to register, call 901-757-7323 or visit the Information desk.
