March 20
...serving up your daily dish.
If you like Indian food and you're around town today, you'll want to wander over to the Williams Sonoma on Valley Road Upper Montclair. From noon to 2:
Maya Kaimal, award winning cookbook author and a leading authority on Indian cooking will give a free demonstration at Williams-Sonoma on Valley Road in Upper Montclair from noon to 2:00 on Monday, March 20th. Ms. Kaimal has been a guest on the Today Show, the Food Network, Martha Stewart and Splendid Table. She has also had feature articles in Food & Wine and Saveur magazines. I saw her when she was doing a demonstration in Short Hills. The best part of the demo is when she unsheathes a huge machete and whacks open a coconut.

I am sure the special "Coconut Machete" will be on sale as well: $139.95.

Darn, I can't belive I missed it! I spent that exact time in Upper Montclair without knowing that this was going on. I love Indian food, I waittressed in an Indian restaurant, lived on East 6th st in Manhattan, lived with an Indian man for 2 years and traveled to India.
I guess I should be checking out the Barista more frequently.

Amy you're not the only one. I keep missing these "noteworthy" events because my Baristanet is delivered in the wee hours of the next morning.
Wish I had known as well, sounds like a fun event. C'est la vie.

"The best part of the demo is when she unsheathes a huge machete and whacks open a coconut."
Growing up we had a nanny who would do this in her cooking. When you know your nanny has a machete, and knows how to use it, you go to bed when told!

hrhppg, very funny! Laxmi Hiremath may not be appearing in baristaville, but she just came out with a new cookbook called "Dance of the Spices". I've gotten wonderful Indian recipes from her first book, and this one looks like a winner, too. She tells lots of stories about her mother and grandmother and maids - but apparently missed out on having a nanny with a machete!
