San Francisco is notorious for its vibrant culinary scene that comes from a diverse background of traditional Chinese fare originating from Chinatown to the ultra chic and modern Mission District where you can find fusion dishes from a variety of cuisines and palates.

During the two hours that this course runs for, you will delight in the preparation of three well-known south Indian dishes. These are sambar spiced cauliflower frittatas, kale salad with curried chickpea croutons and tamarind vinaigrette, and cardamom jaggery macaroons. The course will run for a total of two hours, the first seventy minutes will be dedicated to cooking while the latter fifty minutes will be spent dining with your fellow classmates.
