So many years of teaching Indian cooking taught me one thing: the spice box is where it starts. Here’s mine.

The thing that sets Crimson Kitchen cooking classes apart is the setting. I teach all my classes in my own home. The vibe is cozy and intimate—more like a dinner party at a friends’s house than a formal class. Most people leave with new cooking skills, a newfound confidence in the kitchen, and new friends.

My June and July classes are open now — the link in my bio is where you can book a class. I’d love to have you over ❤️

There are some new people joining the party here at Crimson Kitchen, so I thought I’d take a moment to re-introduce myself!

Welcome — I’m Meghna, I teach hands-on Indian cooking classes right in my home kitchen in San Francisco.

My goal? To make Indian flavors approachable, fun, and totally social. I love brining culture to life through food—sharing the vibrant spices and stories I grew up with in a way that’s light and casual.

Whether you’re here to master a new dish or just for the unforgettable experience (and the wine!), I’d love to have you in my kitchen.

Last weekend I taught a seasonal Bollywood Beats Mumbai street food class and it was truly an incredible time. Thank you to my new friends who joined me in the kitchen and helped prepare delicious street food like Vada pav, Frankie, mango lassi, and more.

It is so fun to share these recipes and turn my home kitchen into a venue for new skills, new friends, and delicious food.

If you missed out, I have another session of this Bollywood Beats Mumbai Street Food class this Thursday! There are a few spots left, you can join us at the link in bio.

Hello friends! I wanted to take a moment to share that I have opened up March cooking classes for bookings at Crimson Kitchen.

If you don’t know, I have been teaching Indian cooking classes at my home in San Francisco for over 10 years now! Each class is a uniquely immersive experience where I share stories and traditions of Indian cooking, teach you techniques and recipes, and we enjoy a beautiful meal together. 

If your interest and taste buds are piqued, I invite you to sign up for a class with me at crimsonkitchen.com! If someone comes to mind who would love this kind of night, feel free to pass it along.
