Whole Grain and Vegetarian Cooking Classes
It is Sipra Pimputkar's intention to make her cooking classes a venue for young and old to meet and hang out with other people of like mind, enjoy a dinner together,
as well as learn about flavorful and healthy foods, and to cook wholesome International foods, as well as combine methods and ingredients from around the world (Fusion Cuisine).
These classes teach vegetarian food preparation.
Sipra has been teaching cooking for several years at the UALL (Upper Arlington Lifelong Learning and Leisure Program) and caters in a small way.
A set of five lessons on Fusion Vegetarian Cooking were successfully held from February through June 2008. The classes covered Indian, Thai, Mediterranean, Tapas and Antipasti meals.
These classes are different in that they are not just demonstrations, but students actually learn by fully participating in the entire process from start to finish, including a dinner to top off the evening.
If you love to cook and to eat, and spread good cheer and friendship, come and enjoy an unusual evening, unlike any cooking class you have ever attended or could expect to.
There are currently no classes scheduled. Please watch this space for
upcoming classes or contact Sipra.

The cost includes:
- Free recipe booklets which not only include the recipes taught in the class but variations, using the same methods and spices that give the food its flavor.
- A delicious native home-made drink or tea from the country of the months cuisine. Please bring your own water and additional drink if you like. (Sorry, no alcohol is allowed in the building.)
- Full participation all through the evening - prepping; cooking the meal, eating and cleaning up.
- A full dinner at the end of the evening.
- Learning to use new methods, new ingredients in new ways - vegetables, whole grains, beans/lentils, new spices and herbs. My classes use specific foods, spices and herbs for producing and maintaining good health.
- Meeting new friends or catching up with old acquaintances.
- Unusual ingredients are available for purchase, making them cheaper to purchase than from the specific ethnic stores, and in smaller, more practical quantities.
