I have been lucky enough to have sampled Sushma's food on more than one occasion, and quite honestly, she is the best chef I've ever had the joy of...of what...of learning from, of watching in action? Yeah, that's good! I've been known to say, "I must get to Sushma's again soon!"
::::::::rubbing hands together, attempting not to salivate:::::::
Perfectly accurate, by the way. I'm UNDER exaggerating her yum-i-tude. I've been dreaming of her paella since 1999. Really.
Sushma is lively, invigorating, and exceptionally knowledgeable about her cooking. Her cuisines are varied and each one is as excellent as the first. Or last? Either way - kick-ass-excellent. A small dinner party? Call Sushma! A large party? Call her then too! Intimate, romantic dinner? Again, call Sushma.
And for heaven's sake, take her cooking classes! She is offering workshops via Claremont Parks and Recreation, but as you will see by her website, she also does smaller classes, which is what I have done! The class I took, which was a class on Indian foods, was catered to the wants and tastes of her clients at the time. She made a full blown, delicious meal, all Indian, while 6 individuals watched, sipping on homemade Chai, enjoying each other's company and the atmosphere. Learning, exchanging comments and just inhaling the scents that just...intoxicated us, we had a great time! Seriously, how can one not be intoxicated by Indian scents? She also included a pamphlet that had the necessary items that one must have to start an Indian pantry, her recipes, instructions and even directions and a possible discount from a local Indian grocery! Badda BING!
Sushma provided a fun and festive atmosphere that would be excellent for a birthday celebration, a shower event...really any kind of celebratory event in which people want to experience what truly equals a Food Network show - right in front of you - and with "smell-o-vision" to boot :) I gotta find out when a Trinidadian class can be held...yummm.... read more
