About me

Location Chicago, Illinois, United States
Introduction Susan developed a passion for flavorful food as a child. Her parents grew up in Kerala, the spice capital of India, and under her mother's wing, Susan learned to make everyday South Indian dishes. The hypnotic rhythms of the kitchen (mincing, chopping, mixing) drew her to Kendall College in 2005 where she trained as a chef. After a foray in the food industry, she started Cardamom Kitchen. Her mission is to promote all the benefits of home cooking. She hosts a Culinary Tour of Devon Avenue, Chicago's Little India, and Tour of Lincoln Square. Susan leads cooking classes, and has taught at Whole Foods Market, the Fearless Food Kitchen, Gilda's Club, Common Threads, Swedish Covenant, farmer's markets and provides private instruction for children and adults. Susan created and managed the "Kitchen Basics" column for Whole Foods Market.
