What To Expect

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Meet your host Nenu at her beautiful house located on top of a lake in a gated, golfing community of San Diego. Sip on a refreshing drink as Nenu shares stories about life in San Diego. Then join Nenu at her open kitchen to learn to cook an Indian fusion meal blending traditional flavors with a modern twist. Watch her prepare 2-3 dishes during your cooking demonstration which will last about 2 hours. After Nenu prepares your meal, enjoy it together at her dining table or outdoors, weather permitting. On some days, Nenu’s husband and children may join you at the table. Your menu includes three courses – an appetizer, a main and dessert. For an appetizer, you might try black pepper and cumin flavored pork served in tacos with pickled onions and radishes and for the main, enjoy a tandoori chicken or mint fish bowl that includes spinach rice, a drizzle of mint sauce and sautéed spiced vegetables. Your meal concludes with a dessert such as rice pudding or vanilla, saffron and mango kulfi (Indian ice-cream). A glass of wine is included in the cost of your experience.
