For nearly eight years, Taz acted as the Culinary Director for The Dhaba Cooking School located in Tempe, Arizona where he created lesson plans, taught classes, created menu items for the restaurant, trained kitchen staff, and began on a journey to bring traditional Indian recipes into people's homes and to expand their understanding of one of the world's most diverse and misunderstood cuisines
In 2014, Taz branched out with Taz Cooks Cooking Classes allowing him to teach not only East Indian but all of the other cuisines of the world and restaurants in general. Taz Cooks Cooking Classes allow Taz to showcase dishes he learned in the all of countries he has lived and worked in as well as classic restaurant dishes both traditional and fusion.
With the closure of The Dhaba Cooking School, Taz has continued to provide instruction to Aspiring Chefs of all skill levels in preparing satisfying, delicious, and healthy meals while teaching the origins, techniques, and tradition of the world's cuisines.
In 2023, Taz created his own retail spice business Tasmanian Spice Traders offering everything from the basic kitchen staples like Black Pepper, Paprika, and Onion Powder to the more difficult to find herbs and spices like Ethiopian Cardamom (Korarima), Indian Long Pepper (Pippali), and Hyssop as well as a collection of truly authentic, hand blended, proprietary blends – everything anyone would need to make incredibly flavored foods and truly authentic recipes from around the world!
