Overview

Step into the warmth of Indian cooking with Chef Jordan as your guide, where every spice has a purpose and every dish tells a story. Set in a serene, lakeside kitchen, this hands-on class makes traditional Indian cuisine approachable, delicious, and entirely gluten-free. Whether you're new to Indian food or eager to sharpen your skills, you'll leave with fresh techniques, unforgettable flavors, and confidence in the kitchen.

You’ll start with a vibrant artisan fruit platter prepared by the chef, then dive into the heart of the class—fire-seared tandoori chicken, golden-roasted cauliflower tossed in curry, and garlic lemon basmati rice that’s anything but ordinary. Crispy spiced chickpeas bring a satisfying crunch, and for a sweet finish, you’ll prepare mango-coconut sticky rice kissed with fresh mint.

Organic, non-GMO, and locally sourced ingredients keep things wholesome, while Chef Jordan’s welcoming style and flavor-forward approach make this a class to savor. Bring your favorite bottle of wine or beer and settle in for an evening that’s equal parts relaxed, educational, and delicious.
