Cooking Class Table

Last weekend, I had a cooking class for a bunch of enthusiastic and adventurous people. The menu's theme was entertaining from pantry staples. As I was getting ready for the class, my daughter set the table for the students.


 Often, Indian people eat food with the right hand and the left hand is reserved for drinking water and passing the food around. Hence, the water glass was set to the left.




For more memorable centerpieces, tablescapes, and recipes (including vegetarian, gluten free and vegan recipes), please check out my book, Entertaining From an Ethnic Indian Kitchen, at my website komalinunna.com.

I am joining  Tablescape Thursday, No Minimalist Here, Show and tell, French Country Cottage  and Pink Saturday .
