About the Instructor:
Ambika came to Buffalo in 2010 and is a mom of twins. She started her culinary career at Tim Horton's. As hardcore vegetarian Ambika was struggling to find good and tasty healthy food. She started cooking for Indian people and eventually started a small business to share Indian vegan food culture. Ambika is proud to share rich and healthy vegetarian and vegan food with the world. She connected with MAP to represent her food culture at the summer event, and her food was accepted with open arms. Teaching is an opportunity to share knowledge and experience. Ambika strongly believes that cooking is therapy. It would be a wonderful experience for her to share vegan recipes and blended spices that can give different textures and test to vegan food. Teaching cooking can be a way to help others become more independent in the kitchen. She would like to empower people to feel confident in preparing meals and improving their health or lifestyle through food. Cooking can bring people together, and teaching might have been a way to build a sense of community or to help others connect through shared experiences.
