Cooking in Maria's home kitchen was the highlight of our holiday. We ground our own masala and ate everything we made. Recipe cards to take home — such a thoughtful touch.

I can't really cook and Maria made it so easy. We finished a full Goan meal and sat down together to eat it. Felt like family.
