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, individuals can take advantage of nature’s finest, benefitting both their bodies and the planet. Using choice spices and simple, effective cooking techniques, the most humble produce can be magically elevated. Participants will enjoy an evening with Chef Naina in this semi-hands-on class and sample their creations with a glass of wine. They’ll never look at a cauliflower the same way again!

To Chef Naina, there is no greater salute to her ancestry. She 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.
