(Bitter)Sweet: Cook Salon

March 23 at 2:00PM – New People

Join us for an intimate conversation and tasting demo with two local Asian American culinary artisans.

Groove Salon

DJ Vinroc and singer/songwriter Goh Nakamura are from different parts of the musical spectrum, but both are innovative musicians that challenge the boundaries of their particular sound.

Mixing Masala: Cook Salon

Come hear San Franciso’s very own chai wallah and a local chef share their insights on creating unique spice mixes. Have fun with a spice identification quiz, then learn the differences between a dry and wet masala, various regional variations that flavor the mix, and easy ways of adapting traditional techniques to make room for whole spices in your own kitchen.
