Cooking Class For AY
The Rotary Club of Bombay and Dignity Foundation made food a reason for Ananda Yaan to come together and spread happiness. On November 25th, 2020, Ananda Yaan organised a cooking show by Rtn. Tara Deshpande for its members.
Along with her great cooking skills, Tara is known for her work as an author, actor, former model, and MTV VJ. She has appeared in several acclaimed films such as Sudhir Mishra’s Is Raat Ki Subah Nahin and Kaizad Gustad’s Bombay Boys. She played Begum Sumroo in Alyque Padamsee’s play of the same name. Her latest book, A Sense for Spice: Recipes and Stories from a Konkan Kitchen is a bestseller.
A hundred plus members joined our Zoom meeting to attend her session.
Rtn. Tara Deshpande taught the recipe of “Methi Malai Kofta” and engrossed everyone in her demonstration. She interacted with members, answered their questions, and engaged with them delightfully. Members were active and alert till the end, many sat with pens and papers, noting down the recipe.
RCB’s Director in charge: Rtn. Ajit Lalwani, Committee Chairman Rtn. Madhusudan Daga, Co-chair Rtn. Vrinda Rajgarhia, Committee members Rtn. Charu Agrawal, Ms. Rashmi Bapna, Rtn. Alok Sekhsaria also joined the session and interacted with members.
Some District invitees included Rotarians Vidyottama Sharma and Ashmi Parekh.

Ms. Kusum Sasane Programme Manager at Dignity Foundation hosted the session and kept members glued to the session by her introduction with shayaris, sharing of events, interacting with members, and keeping the schedule intact.
