Christina Araokiasamy “Welcome to my spice home!
Growing up in Southeast Asia, I still recall the aromas permeating the air – where the life-giving energy of the monsoon rains grow a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices – all greet me like a long lost friend. These herbs and spices are blended creatively to produce some of the world's most exceptional food – Southeast Asian cuisine. You will experience this flavorful journey for health and balance through my cookbook and my cooking classes.”
