What You’ll Experience

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Yashna lives in a beautiful home with her parents and brothers, just 10 minutes from the airport. Her food is fresh and seasonal, she uses vegetables from her backyard garden and freshly caught fish. The cuisine of Mauritius is a blend of Chinese, European and Indian influences. Join Yashna in the kitchen to learn to cook her family recipes, that have been passed down from one generation to another. The duration of your hands-on class will be 2-3 hours. You will first tour Yashna's backyard and see all the vegetables, fruits and herbs she grows. Then learn to make two dishes from scratch - an appetizer and main dish.
