Rita, who learned to cook from books and classes, became so well-known for her Goan cooking that she has been mentioned in cookbooks such as John Gregory Smith's “Mighty Spice Express” and was featured in Fox Traveller's “Twist of Taste.” She lives in a lovely home located very close to the Goa airport. She has a beautiful outdoor space and garden that houses a studio kitchen where she teaches cooking classes. Your experience starts with a welcome drink and snacks, followed by your cooking class with Rita. During your cooking lesson, learn to cook 3-4 traditional Goan dishes in Rita's colorful outdoor kitchen studio. Your meal might start with sopa de abobara (pumpkin soup) and almyache dangar (mushroom cutlets), followed by tambdi bhaji (a traditional stir-fry of red amaranth leaves), khatkhatem (mixed vegetable curry), chicken or lamb vindaloo, and Indian flatbread. For dessert you may have manganem, a traditional sweet dessert in coconut milk. Rita also offers an optional market tour add-on during which you can visit a local market to discover regional Goan produce before returning home for your cooking class. Please note that Rita lives a few minutes away from the Goa airport – this experience would be perfect for travelers coming in or out of Goa.Vacation Inclusions
