Indian and Goan Cooking Class with Market Tour (Perfect for Cruise Ship Guests!)

О нас

This culinary experience is the perfect activity for cruise ship guests. You will experience four special activities on this tour. 

First, you will go to the local farmers market so you can see the culture and lives of the local people. Next, you will begin the cooking class with an introduction to local spices and ingredients. These ingredients will be used to create a traditional Goan meal of five courses, which you will enjoy for lunch. Finally, the group will head to Bogmalo Beach, a secluded beach that is a favorite of the locals. 

This cooking class offers vegetarian and meat-based Indian and Goan dishes, and is held in the garden gazebo. The teacher, Rita Shinde, will teach you her cooking skills in Goan cuisine that was taught to her by her mother.
