I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be working with buddy and talented food photographer Clay Williams (who took the photo of kosambri above) on an upcoming class at the Brooklyn Brainery that will take place Saturday, June 15 from 2-4PM. For this class, I’ll be teaching a South Indian recipe and Clay will be teaching the students how to shoot it with a digital SLR.
Clay’s photography is beautiful and I’m honored to be working with him on this project. His photos have appeared in numerous publications including The New York Times, Travel + Leisure, Edible Brooklyn and you can find more of his stunning work in his portfolio and on his blog, ultraclay.com.
I’ll be teaching everyone how to make kosambri, one of my favorite dishes. Kosambri is a traditional home cooking dish from Bangalore where my mother is from. It’s a salad made with fresh vegetables, coconut, soaked lentils, lemon, cilantro, fried spices and curry leaves. It’s a hearty salad that is full of flavor and protein from the lentils. In the class, students will be given the opportunity to make the dish hands on with me and learn more about South Indian cooking and its ingredients.
Clay will then walk the class through the basics and some tricks of food photography using a digital SLR. He’ll also discuss optimal lighting conditions and hacks and give an overview on photography elements such as aperture and white balance. I’m especially excited for Clay’s portion of the class to get some additional pointers myself:)
You can sign up for the class at Brooklyn Brainery, which is a very special place if you haven’t already checked it out. I love working with Jen and Soma who run this unique space where they offer classes from all walks of life. casino låg insättning
Check their recent schedule of classes to see what I’m talking about. I definitely recommend signing up for their email of upcoming classes, which sell out right away. They also just secured a new spot in Prospect Heights with an awesome backyard and excited to see what they do out there.
