Join Hetal Vasavada and Samantha Seneviratne for a night of sweet talk! 

Hetal Vasavada, author of Milk and Cardamom, grew up in New Jersey in a family of Gujarati home cooks who raised her on chai, cardamom-spiced shortbreads, and sweet puddings. In her latest book, Desi Bakes, she blends those traditional Indian flavors, as well as Indian culture, handicrafts, and art, with Western baking techniques. Learn what to bring to a friend’s Diwali celebration, how to use rose syrup to sweeten chai, and how to mimic beautiful Indian textiles with icing on cookies at this sweet conversation between Hetal Vasavada and Samantha Seneviratne.

Ticket includes access to Flavor: The World to Your Brain from 6 to 7pm and baked goods from Desi Bakes.

Copies of Desi Bakes can be pre-purchased in a ticket bundle and during the program from our partner bookseller, Kitchen Arts & Letters.
