Let us take you to one of the most beautiful islands of Goa - Chorao, one that has been known for its bounties of nature and some unique culinary secrets that the island has been hiding. The island itself has a rich culinary history - Did you know that the island produced one of the best cheeses in Goa once upon a time?
In this experience, we get on a journey to discover the unseen culinary scene of Goa through a visit to a local family and an introduction to dishes not usually found at any restaurant/cafe in Goa!
