Back at our home, we continue the adventure with a cooking class experience hosted by the culinary chef, Jaya. Her passion for cooking is a tribute to her heritage, having learned the art from her mother and grandmother. Her expertise lies in the intricate dance of spices, creating an authentic tapestry of Mauritian flavors. We come together to savor the fruits of our labor in a delightful three-course local dinner, complemented by unlimited local rum punch and cocktails. Yet, it's more than just a feast—it's about sharing stories. Engage in lively conversations with Jaya & Avi, immersing yourself in the customs that shape daily life.
