A curious and unique seasoning using pure maple sugar with a touch of hickory smoke. The rich northern woodland flavor of maple combines with cracked pepper, sea salt and natural ingredients to create a flavorful and hearty all-purpose seasoning.

The Great Salt Bay Seasoning Company takes its name from Maine's first Marine Protected area and one of the most productive spawning areas in Maine for the beloved "living fossil" known as the horseshoe crab, featured prominently on their label. This 520 acre shallow bay is home to dozens of outstanding examples of Maine wildlife. These include bald eagles, osprey, seals, eel grass beds, spring smelt runs, and an alewife run that attracts thousands of visitors each year to view fish climb the oldest fish ladder in the United States.

The class will be taught by cooking instructor and restaurateur Gunjan Gilbert of “Tandoor Downeast”. This workshop will walk you through how to make some common recipes in an Indian “Thali”. In Hindi “Thali” means plate, usually a large steel or copper plate with flat bread, basmati rice, vegetarian or non-vegetarian curries, and sauces.

The menu for the cooking class will be:

Parathas-Flat breads
Chutney
Daal Sambhar-Vegetarian curry
Lamb curry.

Gunjan, a native of Pune, India, attended college and graduate school in Michigan before moving to Maine. Here, she met and eventually married Christian Gilbert. In 2005, the Gilberts started on a two-person mission to introduce Indian culture and cuisine to Downeast Maine. Through more than a dozen educational programs, Gunjan has brought the healthy, interesting, and unique aspects of India to Maine and the people from all over the world who vacation along the coast. Gunjan and Christian also provide prepared Indian meals at farmers markets in Blue Hill, Ellsworth, and Winter Harbor.

"When I teach people about Indian culture and cuisine," Gunjan says, "people also become more accepting and understanding of all the cultures of this world."

Cost of the class for participants is $50 per person including ingredients. We have space for only 12-15 participants, so please make your reservations early by calling  at (207) 236 3273 or e-mailing at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
