Learn to Cook Indian Food & Help Children in Need at the Same Time

Check it out. This Saturday, a local cook, teacher, and food blogger is holding a class where you can learn some basics of Indian cuisine. All proceeds from the class will benefit Asha, a charitable organization that does great work with underprivileged children in India. You can find out more about the UIUC chapter of Asha (and the special monthly benefit dinners the chapter runs at the Red Herring restaurant) in this Smile Politely article.


The class is open to everyone in C-U, and it sure sounds like fun. There's very limited seating so as to maximize interaction with the instructor, so e-mail uiuc@ashanet.org right away if you'd like to attend. Note that there will be tasting of the food and drink that Shuchi, the instructor, shows you how to make.

Hi Lisa:
How are you? I've been following your blog from some time know, and let me tell you I love it! I have never actually commented on it but I do follow your advise on restaurants and suggestions on where to go and you are always right on target. Thanks a lot really.
I have a suggestion for you, do you think you can make a review for a new coffee shop in campustown called Dollar Java is in the corner of Green St and Locust, is inside the commercial space that used to be refinery (the gym). I would really appreciate it, and if you can also put the word out there that it exists and what you think about it. They are open M-F from 6 am to 10 pm.
Thanks a lot in advance!!! and looking forward for your comments.
Have a nice day
XOXOX

On this blog I dish about the food scene in Champaign, IL: where to get takeout, find ingredients, track down local farmers, have a good sit-down meal. I reveal the secrets of local chefs, get the lowdown on the newest restaurants in town, and share recipes and cooking tips. Visit my companion blog, More CT, for links to restaurant reviews, recipes, and other treats. Let's eat!
