Day 1 Arrive Goa and transfer to the hotel.

Day 2 This morning’s cooking session will be on
classic north Indian food - biryanis, maybe breads
or luscious lentils - followed by a lunch of what
you’ve created. The rest of the day is free.

Day 3 It’s an early start this morning with a
visit to the bustling local market with your chef.
See the fresh produce, talk with the spice
merchants and perhaps buy some Indian cooking
utensils.

Day 4 The south of India and Goan soul food are
the focus of today’s fascinating session, where
you will learn to cook dishes rarely served in
restaurants. Fish curries, pepper chicken,
fragrant rices, tangy dals are just some of the
delights your chef may teach. Lunch follows
overlooking the river. The rest of the day is your
own. Perhaps spend a lazy afternoon by the pool.

Day 5 Today it’s a visit to the Spice Gardens,
an ancient plantation growing everything from
vanilla and coffee, to pepper and cardamom. A tour
through these vast gardens - practically a lush
tropical forest – shows you how spices are grown
and harvested. The excursion lasts about half a
day, after which you have the day to yourself
perhaps to cool off by the sea.

Day 6 The final cooking session is a treat -
where your chef will try and accommodate your
special requests, dishes you may have always
wanted to know how to prepare. Or you’ll learn how
to make fluffy chapattis from scratch! After
lunch, the day is free.

Day 7 A completely free day. Spend the day on
the beach, wander round the flea markets, explore
the city of Panjim or just do nothing at all.

Day 8 Depart. If you’d like to stay an extra
week we can arrange that for you
