Signature Concoctions Cooking Classes focuses on modern Indian cuisine cooked at home for family or guests, prepared using fresh ingredients while staying true to authenticity, and sometimes using a few non-Indian ingredients to adapt Indian cuisine to modern lifestyle and entertaining. The program started in August 2008 as a food blog and evolved into cooking classes in 2012, making Indian home cooking accessible to people in the San Francisco Bay Area. The owner and instructor, Vasanti, is a trained chef, culinary instructor, and published cookbook author who underwent formal training at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City. Ingredients are provided for the $120.00 per person at-location option, while participants bring their own ingredients for the other pricing options.
