Description
Good to Know
Immerse yourself in a unique culinary experience at Smruti's home in Pleasanton, just outside San Francisco. This hands-on cooking class combines the vibrant spices of Indian cuisine with the fresh ingredients of California. Begin your journey with a welcome drink, then engage in the preparation of three flavorful dishes using seasonal produce. Learn essential cooking techniques and enjoy your creations paired with local wine in a relaxed setting. The menu can be tailored to accommodate dietary preferences, ensuring an inclusive experience that highlights the rich culinary diversity of the region.
Optional: Choose a market tour on Saturdays and Smruti, your warm and knowledgeable host, will guide you through the bustling stalls just steps from her home. Together, you'll explore the seasonal bounty of California, hand-picking fresh produce, sampling local cheeses, and selecting ingredients that will inspire the meal to come.

Private cooking class and meal with a local
Step into your host’s warm East Bay home for a private, hands-on cooking class that blends bold Indian flavors with fresh California ingredients. Start with a welcome drink and snack before diving into the kitchen to prepare three seasonal dishes - learning to mix marinades, layer spices, and garnish like a pro. Afterward, enjoy your creations with a glass of local Californian wine. Menus can be adapted for gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, or dairy-free diets. Prefer a more traditional South Indian menu? Your host is happy to customize! For guests visiting on Saturday, add an optional market tour at the Pleasanton Farmers Market, just steps from your host's home, to shop local produce before cooking. Your host has a small dog, but he can be kept in another room during your visit.
