Rave Reviews for Kalpana Gajjar's Cooking Class at Cambridge Cohousing

Video highlights from last Sunday's traditional Gujarati Thali cooking class with Kalpana Gajjar. Gujararti cuisine is vegetarian and comes from the state of Gujarati in western India. Our sumptuous meal included Bhinda nu Shak (okra), Kadhi (yogurt and chick pea flour soup), Channa (Indian chick peas), Sheero (cream of wheat porridge), Paratha (semi-fied whole wheat bread) and Vegetable Pullao (rice pilaf). Thank you Kalpana (and Jess) for a great meal!

Fireside Reading Series Enters Eleventh Season

Now in our eleventh season, the Fireside Reading Series holds readings by writers with local connections in the Cambridge Cohousing living room, usually on a Tuesday each month at 7:30 p.m. To see the 2009-2010 schedule, cick here. For directions, click here.

The readings begin with a short open mike. Come at 7 p.m. to help set up, sign up for open mike and nosh and schmooze. Following the reading you are invited to a wine and cheese reception. (A donation of $3 is requested to help with the cost.)

Writers are encouraged to bring a short work in progress to read at our open mic at the beginning of the reading and any published works they may have to sell after the readings.

The reading is held in the living room in front of the fireplace at Cambridge Co-Housing at 175 Richdale Ave, Cambridge, MA 02140. It is 3 blocks from the Red Line stop at Porter Square. A request for parking consideration from the City of Cambridge allows out-of-town visitors to park in resident only spaces on Richdale Avenue from 6:30-10:30 PM.
