Cuisine: Guyanese

Veda has been with Global Kitchen since the beginning – leading our pilot class in May 2012 (watch a video of the class  ) and several other classes in the months following. She is beloved by our students for her sweet disposition and her stories about growing up in Guyana. In her cooking class, she’ll teach you traditional Guyanese curries, and demonstrate how to make the perfect roti.

She is the proud owner of Veda’s Cakes & Catering, where she creates beautiful cakes, food, and pastries from her home country of Guyana, a former British colony in South America. Veda is dedicated to preserving her cultural heritage through traditional Guyanese recipes which represent a variety of cultural influences including East Indian, African, Portuguese, Chinese, Amerindian Indians, and British. Her desire to encourage her family and others to make these traditional foods has been the primary motivation to start her business.

Veda hopes to hand down her skills, recipes, and traditions to her grandchildren, the same way her grandparents did for her. She believes that you can bring joy to many by enjoying a culture of togetherness and sharing great food with family and friends. Veda says the most precious thing in life is to give, and one way we can do that is through the art of food, which will always bring us together.
