Cooking Classes at Crimson Kitchen
Hi, I’m Meghna
Travel enthusiast, mother of two, Indian immigrant, and self-confessed biggest party thrower. I teach Indian cooking across the Bay Area — in my San Francisco home and at some of the Bay's best culinary schools — because food has always been my way of building community. From Mumbai fine dining to Lucknow street food to my mother's Bihar kitchen, I bring the full breadth of India's 30 states to the table. Come cook with me. You'll leave with recipes, new friends, and a very full stomach.
