This market-to-table experience offers an authentic taste of Pondicherry's unique culinary heritage. Join local expert Manisha on a guided visit to the vibrant Goubert Market, where you'll discover fresh local ingredients and learn about their cultural significance before heading to her home for a hands-on cooking class.
Blending Indian and French Creole influences, the class goes beyond recipes to explore the connection between food, culture, and wellness. After preparing traditional dishes from scratch, you'll enjoy a shared meal and meaningful cultural exchange in a warm, local setting.
Your adventure begins with a guided tour of the historic Goubert Market to source fresh, seasonal produce. After choosing your custom menu and chatting with local vendors, you will ride a traditional rickshaw straight to Manisha's home kitchen. Once there, you will enjoy a 2.5-hour interactive cooking class and prepare two to three authentic dishes from scratch. You can choose between a traditional Indian or a unique French Creole menu. Throughout the session, you will learn about sustainable cooking, local heritage, and the medicinal value of traditional ingredients.
At a designated time of 10:30 AM or 5:45 PM local time, we share a location of Great Singapore Steel, Pondicherry so that my class starts at the Vegetable Market visit at the Goubert Avenue.
