A closer look at the journey ahead..

Set amidst expansive rice fields and enveloped by the quiet beauty of Goa’s countryside, this experience unfolds in an intimate rustic hut designed to bring you closer to nature. The space is unhurried and grounding, where the gentle rustle of leaves and the stillness of the surroundings invite you to disconnect from the outside world and settle into a more mindful rhythm of living. Inspired by the essence of Shivrak Shukrar, a day traditionally marked by simplicity and thoughtful cooking in Goan homes, this experience is a celebration of slow living, seasonal ingredients, and the joy of preparing food with intention. Your journey begins with a warm, authentic welcome, followed by a guided walk through a kulhagar, where you are introduced to the local produce and natural elements that form the foundation of Goan cuisine. You then step into the kitchen for a hands on culinary session, where you will learn to prepare authentic local dishes using simple, time honoured techniques. Craft traditional Patolyo or Donne with care, fry cashew kappa to a perfect crisp, and take part in preparing the nourishing and festive dish Khatkhate. To complement the experience, enjoy refreshing mango based cocktails, thoughtfully served to balance the tropical warmth and enhance the overall setting. The experience culminates in a relaxed sit-down meal, where you savour the dishes you have prepared, served in a serene and intimate setting. As you dine, stories and cultural insights are shared, offering a deeper understanding of the traditions and culture.
