With so many foods abundantly available throughout the year, it can be easy to forget what it means to wait for a season to roll around and enjoy certain produce at its peak, when it’s naturally packed with the best flavors. By intentionally eating in tune with the seasons, it is possible to take advantage of nature’s finest, benefitting both your body and the planet. Using choice spices and simple, effective, cooking techniques, the most humble produce can be magically elevated. Enjoy an evening with Chef Naina in this semi-hands-on class and sample your creations with a glass of wine. You’ll never look at a cauliflower the same way again!

About Chef Naina Bhedwar
Naina Bhedwar is a self-taught Chef whose passion for food, cooking and spices began when she was knee high, in the family kitchen! Since then, Naina has taken this passion far and wide; on a mission to demystify the cuisine of India, Persia & the Near East.
Hailing from two distinct and vibrant Indian communities, the Parsis (of Persian origin) and the Punjabis of India’s North, Naina has had the further privilege of living in all four corners of India as well as abroad in Australia, the UK and now, Atlanta. Each home brought new and delicious culinary and cultural experiences, allowing a faceted and multi-layered love of all things edible, to emerge and take hold.
Kesar Kitchen, LLC (Kesar is the Hindi term for Saffron ~ Naina’s favorite spice) offers exciting and interesting ways to masterfully prepare and present the endlessly varied and incredibly interesting food of India, Persia and the Near East. To the Chef, there is no greater salute to her ancestry. Chef Naina currently teaches public and private cooking classes, in-person and virtual, as well as catering small group events and providing clients with in~home restaurant experiences that bring fine food and wine home to you.
Be it through a delicious cooking class experience, a personalized cooking party with a difference or a small catered event, Kesar Kitchen promises to entertain both the mind and palate with interesting epicurean facts and bold, exciting flavors.
