A Culinary Journey with Chef Ranjan Dey & Dr. Nandita Dinesh
Where Food Becomes a Gateway to Cultural Understanding
Join us for an evening where cuisine, culture, and conversation intertwine.
Each month, Chef Ranjan Dey — owner of San Francisco’s beloved New Delhi Restaurant — and Dr. Nandita Dinesh invite you to gather around their table for a dining experience that transcends the plate. This month, we're exploring Asian holidays with a side of luck! What happens when Chinese New Year and Holi bump into each other?
Each intimate gathering brings to life a story and recipe from Ranjan’s forthcoming memoir, Freakin’ DEYlicious — paired with the cultural celebrations and milestones of the month. Over two immersive hours, expect an evening of flavors, stories, and heartfelt exchange.
What to Expect
A Thoughtfully Curated Meal
Enjoy a three-course menu centered around one signature dish from Freakin’ Deylicious, crafted to honor the cultural theme of the evening. This month we are featuring Benarasi Mattar Ghugni.
Stories & Conversations That Nourish
Dr. Dinesh will guide an open-table dialogue inspired by April's featured story, while Chef Dey shares the personal and cultural roots behind each recipe.
A Truly Human Dining Experience
Come curious. Leave connected — with a full belly, a featured recipe to recreate at home, and a new perspective on how food preserves and communicates culture.
