Back by popular demand for a sixth year, Kiran Ramgotra Sancious shares her family’s coveted secret recipes to the Omega Institute located in Rhinebeck, New York on June 28 – 30th, 2013. The scent of freshly ground spices and complex curries perfumes the air in Omega’s cooking classroom during Kiran’s weekend workshop on northern Indian home cooking.

Kiran joins other outstanding teachers including President Bill Clinton, Pema Chodron, Bobby Mcferrin, and many other outstanding teachers at Omega’s Lifelong Learning series this summer. Omega Institute is co-founded by Elizabeth Lesser, a frequent guest and contributor on Oprah. Located in beautiful Rhinebeck, New York, Omega offers workshops, trainings, retreats, conferences and vacations.

Kiran moved from Vancouver, British Columbia to Woodstock, in upstate New York, when she met and then married famed musician David Sancious. David is touring this year with Sting and Peter Gabriel and has also played with Seal, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton, and was in the original Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band. The world renowned musician couldn’t stop raving about Kiran’s famous cooking, and as the word spread, so did Kiran’s Indian cooking classes. She has shared her cooking techniques with celebrities including Uma Thurman, Jane Curtin, Donna Lewis, and Kate Pearson from the B52’s.

Kiran grew up in a family of cooks who celebrated their Indian heritage with culinary secrets handed down for generations. On a typical Sunday, there would be 20 women in the kitchen preparing food for up to 100 guests. Kiran’s mother began teaching her to cook when she was just seven years old, and now Kiran teaches her family’s unique and delicious recipes to private clients and small groups of people in their own kitchens throughout Canada and the United States. Kiran is currently writing her first cookbook. Visit: kiransindiankitchen.com for more information.

She explore ways to cook with unique spice combinations while preparing dals; curries; parantha, roti, and naan breads; Indian desserts; lassi; and masala chai.

Though the flavors and procedures are typically intricate, Kiran teaches a process that simplifies Indian home cooking, making it accessible to everyone. The workshop is open to all. You will return home with delicious food, recipes, and the confidence to cook Indian food on your own.
