Cook & Create: Durban Curry

Have you ever tried South African Indian curry? Durban Curry is a celebrated South African dish, born of the country's diverse blend of indigenous African, Dutch, British, Indian, and Malay influences. Born in Cape Town and raised in Durban, South Africa, Concepta Jones now shares her culinary roots with her community in Maine.

On June 20th, join Concepta at Maine Tasting Center to learn about South African Indian curry, try your hand at making it, and make some art!

Start off prepping the meal with Concepta as she guides you through the creation of authentic South African Indian beef curry. Ingredients are fresh and sourced from local farms - cut, sliced and chopped from scratch.

For the creative side of the event, we will indulge in a Rock Art session.In this hands-on art experience, you'll transform ordinary beach pebbles into vibrant works of art. Using a variety of paints and brushes, you'll learn techniques for creating simple yet beautiful designs—from bold geometric patterns to whimsical nature-inspired creations. Whether you prefer bright colors, intricate details, or minimalist styles, this session is all about expressing your personal creativity.

Perfect for all skill levels, you'll leave with a full belly, new kitchen skills, and beautifully framed pebble art that can be used as a decorative piece, or a thoughtful gift.

Come solo, bring a friend, or make it a family outing—Cook & Create is all about connecting through food, art, and community!
