What to expect
This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Pratibha cooks healthy, balanced vegetarian food. She will welcome you into her traditional home with a welcome drink of effervescent homemade lime mint cooler spiked with some fruit (such as guavas, apples or grapes).
Then you will sit down to eat a healthy vegetarian, Ayurvedic meal that focuses on local, seasonal vegetables and lentils. Pratibha believes in balanced tastes - for example her carrot soup has the sweetness of carrots balanced by the earthy flavors of cloves and coriander.
As you share a meal together, hear about the various properties of the ingredients she uses and how they benefit the body and mind. This experience is a unique and memorable one where you get to visit a local home and meet an award-winning cookbook author to share Indian culture and cuisine together.
