That's the charming and talented Rita |
Dear friends,
Learning is an on going process and I feel the more one knows in a particular subject the more one realises the importance to learn even more .Thats the case with me. There are so many cuisines , so many exotic dishes to learn ,that even an entire lifetime is less. Well thats why I do not leave a chance to add to my knowledge.
I am moving to another part of my country and it was my heart's desire to be able to cook a few dishes belonging to this beautiful part of my country ,where I got a chance to spend four wonderful years of my life
And my wish was fulfilled when a friend told me about cookery classes run by a very fine Goan lady.
Ritas Gourmet Goa, please check out this site and those of you who are living in Goa and following this blog I would personally suggest to you to go to her site and give her a call and discuss whatever you would like to learn.
I must add that this is a very personal suggestion and in no way to be considered as an advertisement as Rita doesn't even know that I have a blog and how could I tell such a talented and knowledgeable lady that I have a food blog with just twenty seven posts.
I am sorry that I would not be able to share what I learnt from her as I would do an injustice both to you and her if I put them on net wherein they require a demonstration which she can give so beautifully. I have spent three great days of four hours each of learning some of the finest dishes of the Goan and Portugese cuisine.
She holds classes for tourists too who want to add cooking too in their Goa experience.
Take care my friends and keep smiling.
take a look at some of the delicious things that I learnt from her.
