I come to your house with all the ingredients, take over your kitchen and get everyone involved in the preparation of the meal. Once the food is ready, we sit down and enjoy our efforts, and maybe I convince a few people to attempt eating with their fingers! I always leave the host’s house loving the fact that I spent the evening with great people and that we all enjoyed delicious Indian food together.” In her back pocket, she also has an International Chef Certificate from Capsicum Culinary Studio.
