Food & Fabrics

The siren call of Paratha Lane in Old Delhi – where food vendors make and sell parathas on the pavement in front of their tiny one-room cafes, stalls offer jewel-like fruit and vegetables, and smoke drifts from a thousand woks – is entirely seductive. It is exactly where you want to be.

Food is serious business in India, and Indian cuisine is one of the most flavorful in the world. Because it is one of the largest countries, its cuisine is quite varied, but one common theme is the layering of different spices that create a rich flavor profile. Like much of Asian cuisine, it combines different combinations of sweet, sour, savory, and spicy in its many vegetarian and meat-based dishes, combinations that you will experience and learn to replicate on your cooking tour in India.
