About

Rita's Gourmet Cooking Classes are set up in Vasco da Gama, around the Mormogau area, in a garden gazebo amidst spice and herb plants and surrounded by coconut trees.

"Fantastic experience!"

Rita was so knowledgeable and lovely. The food we made was incredible! Genuinely couldn't have had a better day.

"Fantastic cooking class & market tour"

We loved our class with Rita. Started with a delicious breakfast and market tour. Back in the kitchen, Rita ran us through the spices many of which we had seen at the market. We cooked a crazy amount of food (a special vegetarian menu of samosas, Dahl, alloo gobi, paneer butter masala, flat bread and rice pudding). We were assisted not just by Rita but by her team of helpers who were great to learn from. Afterwards we had a delicious feast. There were tons of leftovers which Rita bundled up and sent us home with. Overall highly recommendable. We also got copies of the recipes and an apron to keep.

"Fantastic Indian Breads Workshop"

My 15 year old daughter and I had a wonderful time at Rita's Indian breads workshop. This was the only activity my daughter would agree to do in Goa as she just wanted to relax on this vacation. It was well worth it. My daughter knows how to make tortillas very well and wanted to learn how to make Indian breads. We were the only two in the workshop and it was quite intense -- lots of hands on experience and opportunity to test your skills. We truly enjoyed it. We can't wait to practice our skills this Sunday.

"Best cooking class we have been too!"

My Wife and I went for the 3 hrs class - cooking a total of 5 dishes! Everything was sooo tasty and Rita was an awesome teacher! Would highly recommend to anyone who has a passion for cooking.

"Brilliant cooking class experience"

We booked this class to do something different. We love the Indian food and spices. Rita was so knowledgeable and lovely. The food we made was incredible! We stayed in Goa only for one day during a cruise and Rita organised everything from the pickup at the port and return just in time. It was a highlight of the cruise and we hope we can buy all the spices at home to cook all the delicious recipes we got from her.
