The Montpelier Gourmet Cooking Meetup will be at Kellogg-Hubbard Library on Tuesday May 1st. The theme for May's potluck will be Indian Cuisine. We hope you'll join us!
• What we'll do
You have lots of flexibility for our next meetup! We'll be doing "Indian Food". According to Wikipedia that encompasses six different classes (North, South, East, North East, West, and Other) and those are further stratified into 32 distinct cuisines!
"Indian cuisine is characterized by its sophisticated and subtle use of many Indian spices and vegetables, herbs, and fruits grown across India. There is also the widespread practice of vegetarianism across its society. Considered by some to be one of the world's most diverse cuisines, each family of this cuisine is characterized by a wide assortment of dishes and cooking techniques. As a consequence, Indian cuisine varies from region to region, reflecting the varied demographics of the ethnically diverse Indian subcontinent. India's religious beliefs and culture has played an influential role in the evolution of its cuisine. However, cuisine across India has also evolved with the subcontinent's cross-cultural interactions with the neighboring Middle East, Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Central Asia, as well as the Mediterranean, making it a unique blend of various cuisines across Asia. The colonial period introduced European cooking styles to India adding to its flexibility and diversity. Indian cuisine has also influenced cuisines across the world, especially those from Southeast Asia. In particular, curry has been widely adopted in cuisines around the world.
• What to bring
Please bring (i) a potluck dish of Indian cuisine, (ii) a bit of tupperware if you'd like to return home with some leftovers, and (iii) a small card listing ingredients.
We love sharing recipes! If you like that idea, please post them on the discussion section of the May 1 meetup
• Important to know
NO ALCOHOL, PLEASE - Kellogg-Hubbard Library prohibits alcoholic beverages. You're welcome, of course, to cook with spirits, but we'll need to take a pass on beer, or wine (even the funky Indian variety!)
HARD STOP AT 8PM - We've scheduled the event from 6pm to 7:45 because the room has to be clean and empty by 8pm, sharp. Please consider sticking around a few minutes extra to help cleanup.
$2 per person will help to offset some of the organizational costs of this event - THANKS!
