This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Latha lives in a large apartment in the city center, decorated with art that she collected on her travels over the years. Latha shares her home with her teenage son, husband and a sweet old dog, who follows her closely but does not bark or disturb anyone. Join your host Latha at her home kitchen to learn to cook a traditional, South Indian, vegetarian meal from family recipes. Latha offers a cooking demonstration during which you watch her prepare three dishes from scratch from one of the three menus options you can choose from, thali, breakfast special or adai set. Your cooking demonstration will last about 1.5 hours. Enjoy learning about the tips and techniques involved in South Indian cooking before you sit down at the table to share the meal you helped prepare with your host Latha.
