SUA and KU Dining are excited to be hosting Chef Hari Nayak,
Indian chef extraordinaire, for two special events next week.
Chef Hari is Culinary Director at Café Spice. Café Spice
opened at the Underground one year ago, making KU the first Midwest campus to
host this Indian concept. Chef Hari began his epicurean journey at The Culinary
Institute of America. After working in India, he went on to work in restaurants
in New York, London and Paris. Today, he is among America’s most celebrated
chefs for his unique culinary style.
On Wednesday, April 9, Chef Hari will be hosting a cooking
demonstration in the Jayhawk Room on Level 5 of the Kansas Room. The demo will
feature traditional Indian food in Chef Hari’s own style. He’ll discuss the
culture behind each item he prepares and guests will enjoy samples of the
dishes. The event starts at 7 p.m., just about the time most students start
hankering for that evening snack.
Chef Hari will also be doing a book signing at this event
for his bestseller, Modern Indian Cooking. In this book Chef Hari provides his outlook
on Indian cuisine. This event is FREE for anyone with a KU ID.
Then, on Thursday, April 10, Tea at Three will transform
into Chai at Three, again featuring Chef Hari. A Henna artist will also be on
hand to illustrate the depth of Indian culture. Masala Chai will be served, as
will samples from Café Spice. If you’ve never been to Tea at Three, this would
be the right time to check it out. As always, this Tea at Three is free and
open to all.
Both events are presented by SUA’s Culinary Committee, in
partnership with KU Dining at the KU Memorial Unions.
See you at the U!
