What to expect
Puducherry
You will be picked up from your hotel and driven to your hosts’ residence. Your hosts will serve you a welcome drink as they acquaint you with the cooking and culture of Pondicherry. The traditional cuisine of Pondicherry is not just a fusion of French and Tamil cuisine but was also cross-pollinated by the cooking of another French colony, Vietnam (or Indo-China as it was called then). There were extensive trade and military links between Pondicherry and Vietnam that led to these culinary influences that are visible even today. Next join your instructor in the kitchen to cook some delectable dishes. You can learn to cook 4-5 traditional dishes in one session. Savor the dishes cooked with your hosts and take back some wonderful memories of the day. After lunch / dinner, you will be dropped back at your hotel.
