To enrich people's culinary experience and to inspire them to discover that cooking & sharing healthful foods can be a joyfyl expperience. As a culinary educator, I am educating the people of all ages, how spices, herbs and legumes can enhance the taste and flavor of healthful foods. It is fun when people get transformed to become vegetable lovers. Even children find the vegetable dishes irresistible when vegeatbles are cooked with spices and legumes. I explain the growing research pointing to the great health benefits of spices like turmeric and cumin used in my cookbook tilted, "Healthy South Indian Cooking", Hippocrene Books, New York. Besides cooking presentation to the public, I provide team building cooking events for the companies, and culinary tours to little India in Chicago.
