kitchen karma
Just across a busy road from Auckland’s Spark Arena, dwarfed by the great slabs of commerce around it, is a doorway; a modest slit in a concrete facade. And as improbable an address as this is for an oasis of calm and spirituality, this tiny portal is the gateway to The Loft Yoga Lounge.
We’re not here for yoga or lounging, however; we’re here for an Indian vegan cooking class. I climb the stairs to the first floor and on entering the reception/lounge area, the waft of spices tells me I am in the right place. dish food editor Claire has already arrived; she reminds me to take off my shoes and we sit at a table as the place starts to fill up with the 14 or so, mostly young, cooking class attendees.
