Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi I'm Anand!

I love all things design, cooking, and experiences. I spent a summer working at a restaurant in Italy and have been hosting pop-ups at Stanford every so often. Ben and I are extremely excited to teach our first SPLASH course and create some beautiful plates of food with you.

A7072: Culinary Artists: Playing With Your Food in Splash Spring 2019 (May. 04 - 05, 2019)
Your eyes can taste, too. In fact, they make your most important taste of the meal: the very first one. We will open the world of culinary play, allowing students to gain a new sense of confidence in their artistic abilities and cooking know-how. With plating techniques like quenelle, shmears, foams, and garnishes, students will expand their culinary tool belt that they can use in their daily lives. The class is organized around a set of hands-on activities in which students plate a variety of pre-made ingredients and sauces, learning as they go! It doesn’t take expensive, fancy food to have a beautiful and meaningful plate.
