The highlight of our trip

5.00Rita and Mukund were wonderful hosts and teachers, taking my wife and I through a number of Goan dishes ranging from appetizers, to main courses, desserts and even masala chai. The market tour was a highlight of our trip to India, and Rita answered so many questions we had about all the wonderful local produce we got the chance to see and taste. The cooking time was very educational and fun, and tasting all the food at the end was the cherry on top. I would absolutely recommend Rita and Mukund’s class to anyone visiting Goa who wants to come away with a greater appreciation for the local cuisine. We hope we get the chance to come visit again someday!

5.00Rita and Mukund were the best! It was really cool going to the farmer's market to buy some of the ingredients we would be using in the dishes that we made. Rita explained everything each step of the way and the food tasted amazing! We would recommend this to anyone who wants to get a better understanding of Indian cooking. They even gave us recipes of everything we made so that we can make them again.

5.00Wonderful experience, do this while you’re in Goa! My mom and I took Rita’s class and it was the highlight of our entire trip, she is a wealth of knowledge about cooking and about Goa. She very generously answered our many questions about Indian culture and cuisine. The market tour was very interesting, a lovely market. She helped us navigate the market and taught us all about the produce offered. I definitely would not have gone to a market alone but with Rita it was a breeze! Once we got back to her impressive, clean, and efficient kitchen, she kept us busy with cooking and explaining things. The reward of a tasty meal after our hard work was wonderful!
Fabulous people, delicious food!

5.00Rita and Mukund are wonderful hosts, very kind, patient and informative. They welcomed us with a homemade chai tea which I will be making upon my return home. We had an incredible day with breakfast, a market visit and lunch which we all made together. Highly recommended for visitors to Goa to experience the food and warmth of the Goan people!
An experience for all the senses and the heart!

5.00Gosh, Rita is such a graceful loving person! I just admired so many things about her, from her kindness and sweet presence to her absolute openness to culinary explorations and passion for her craft! We loved how she improvised and adapted to our interest in exciting local produce and altered some recipes to make things extra special and fun! We had such a special time, and our hearts were as full as our bellies! Plus, her husband is such a delight of a person, radiating with joy!
A great experience

5.00We had lots of insight information, cool cooking tips from local and interesting chat of cultures and spices mix! Rita has created unforgettable time for us in her colorful study. It makes her stand out in terms of professional approach ( we had certificates handed to us afterwards, take-away package with recepies and class menus, and even nice aprons packed in convenient bag!) The market tour with selection of ingredients is a must addition to the fuller immersion into Goan heritage. I highly recommend Rita's class to anyone who seeks fun, vibrant conversation floating with aromas delicious meal!
Excellent experience with Rita and team!

5.00During our stay in Goa, my wife and I travelled to Dabolim to spend a day learning the secrets of Goan culinary craftsmanship with Rita. On arrival we were served Masala Chai and Cinnamon black coffee and also prepared some ourselves- which was a great way to start! We then enjoyed a delicious breakfast of traditional Dosa and Sambal before we were taken to a local market to source our fresh ingredients with Pajoo, who was an insightful guide! On return we ripped into the cooking of 5 Goan and Indian dishes under the tutelage of Rita and with 1:1 mentoring from either Suwarna or Pajoo, who were excellent assistants! The cooking process was relaxed, fun yet structured in a way that encourages full involvement and engagement from participants. After we had prepared the food we enjoyed the fruits of our labours in the form of 5 tantalising dishes and some choice cold beverages from our host. Rita’s Gourmet is a must for any food-loving traveller who ventures to the South of India. It was a great experience and we recommend it to everyone!
A fantastic experience and well...
