Highlights

Join Freeda in her contemporary home overlooking the lush green Ernakulam landscape for a private, hands-on cooking class where you will learn to prepare traditional Kerala dishes. Begin your culinary adventure with a welcome appetizer and drink before rolling up your sleeves to learn to cook traditional South Indian dishes. After cooking a traditional Kerala meal, enjoy the meal you helped prepare with your host at her dining table. You might try dishes such as a Kerala-style chicken stew or fish curry, karimeen pollichathu (marinated fish wrapped in banana leaves and grilled) or Syrian beef fry (strips of beef cooked in pepper and spices), appams and a seasonal vegetable followed by a delicious western-style dessert. You will not want this experience to end but when it does, you will leave with new friends, a full belly, printed copies of Freeda's personal recipes, and a true glimpse into a local's life.

About Kochi

Kochi is a port city on India's Kerala coast, with Chinese fishing nets, Portuguese and Dutch heritage, spice warehouses and backwaters just beyond.

The old quarter of Fort Kochi packs centuries of trade into a small peninsula. Giant cantilevered fishing nets line the shore, St Francis Church is one of the oldest European-built churches in India, and Santa Cruz Basilica stands nearby. In Mattancherry, the Dutch Palace holds royal murals, and the Paradesi Synagogue in Jew Town, dating from the 1500s, has a floor of blue Chinese tiles.
