New York City is the only place in the world where all you need to trace the international progression of curry is a Metro Card. We'll travel via taste with traditional Indian, British, Japanese and Caribbean curries from restaurants all around the city. Along the way, we'll trace the history of this pungent spice blend from the British Raj to American anglophiles, and we'll cook up an early 18th century recipe.

Whether you love curry or know nothing about it, this class will bring you pure joy.
