Rita 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.

Wonderful 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!

Rita 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!

Gosh, 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!
