Cooking classes in Goa?

suolakurkku · Jan 3rd, 2007, 01:51

Has anyone ever taken part in a cooking course while in Goa? Where was this & how much did it cost? Any info on a quick introductory class of a day or half would be fantastic. Thanks.

I have seen one advertised in the Casa de Goa hotel in Calangute, I have no Idea regarding the costs/time.

i never heard of any organized cooking classes in goa. however, one way is to get friendly with either your guest house owner, and maybe the women in the house will teach you... that's how I learned to make a few things.... the other way is to get friendly with a restaurant owner, and have them take you into the kitchen and learn that way. It worked for me and usually they like to help.

Anandi - Are you male or female. I am Male and would love to spend time in somebody's kitchen to learn some cooking techniques. Do you think this would be a strange request from a male in India (assuming I led up to the request in an appropriate way at an appropriate time)?

Most cooks/chefs in Goa are male so no not a strange request and like shefs all over the world, they like to show off.
