“At home I serve the kind of food I know the story behind.” -Michael Pollan


Welcome to the Goan Food Trail 


Food is much more than a means of survival; it is also a source of pleasure, comfort, security as well as a unique cultural experience. While it nourishes our bodies, it can also nourish our families and our communities. It is one of the most important and constant aspects of tradition and culture. Throughout the world, and especially in Goa, food is used to celebrate holidays, rituals, and family gatherings. For special occasions—and even for daily meals—our culture often determines what, when, and how we eat.

 Food history is as important as a baroque church; these traditions connect us to our heritage, our locale, and to one another. Food customs also embody the wisdom gained and shared through thousands of years of experimentation and observation. Our lifestyles today represent an incredible diversity of food traditions. Prized ‘recipes’ comprising of just visual cues of ‘a handful of this’ and ‘a pinch of that’ get passed down through the generations evolving and adapting with time. Many of us share that frustrating experience of not being able to recreate that dish that is the star of our childhood nostalgia. This blog aims at celebrating these often untold Goan family food traditions and sharing my journey with food.  

So take a break, try some food and come follow us. Life is so incredibly delicious!
