Cooking With Shanti...

Cooking with Shanti is all about healthy Indian vegan and vegetarian cooking. Shanti Kalaga hails from India and moved to USA. She is a HR Professional by training and is also very passionate about cooking. Her initial foray into cooking was when her mother introduced her to the extraordinary culinary range of Indian Vegetarian Cooking. She likes to experiment with various types of cuisine, not just Indian. Shanti began teaching vegetarian cooking at her erstwhile home in White Bear Lake, MN in and enjoyed it very much. Since April 2015, she conducted dozens of successful cooking classes involving many creative recipes; using a variety of herbs, spices and other unique ingredients. She takes delight in patiently explaining the process to her audience, demonstrates the preparation and the actual cooking activity and then shares the food with the guests. Shanti is specific about hygiene and uses all fresh ingredients.Her cooking participants range between the ages of 8 to 90 years. Shanti moved to Glen Burnie because of her husband's new job and after moving back to Glen Burnie, MD, she is back in action and is successful in attracting even more guests and conducts more frequent classes.  Shanti serves her participants with Chai tea as they arrive and the fresh herbs and aroma of the Tea keeps the guest active all through the class. 

The best part of her class is when you get to sample the food in the cute little cups that she serves the food right out of the pan. 

The classes take place in Shanti's kitchen.
