For Gourd's Sake!


Community Education Adult Classes / Cooking & Baking -
Community Education - Spring Summer 2026

Join us as we continue our exploration of Indian cooking. We will discuss and demonstrate 3 dishes made with ‘exotic’ gourds common in Indian kitchens. One with seafood, the second with a lentil and the third on it's own. We will prepare them entirely from scratch. Afterwards, we will dine with all the must have fixings and continue with an informal discussion on ‘all things Indian cuisine'. No previous Indian cooking experience required. 

Ejaz Saifullah

Ejaz Saifullah is an experienced Indian cook. He graduated from the Institute of Hotel Management & Catering Technology, Mumbai in 1984 with a 3-year Diploma, and completed a 1-year Chef Trainee program at the Holiday Inn, Juhu, Mumbai.

In 1987, Ejaz immigrated to the United States and graduated from University of Wisconsin-Stout in 1990 with a BSc in Hotel & Restaurant Management. In 1991, he left the hotel industry and graduated again from UW-Stout in 1994 with a BA in Graphic Design. "I have indulged in Indian home cooking for the past 33 years, raising 3 kids in Hudson. My cooking style and the passion I hold for the vast array of regional Indian cuisines has been strongly influenced by my mother and grandmother, along with the personal experience of simply growing up in various parts of India, tasting regional delicacies from street food to 'high-end' restaurants."
