Overview

Kim has been part of the travel industry for 25 years and enjoys meeting people, traveling to new places and discovering different cultures and cuisines. Kim learned to cook when she was 12 years old from her father. Her father had always wanted to be a chef, but went on to become a Captain in the merchant navy, so he passed on his interest and passion to Kim. She is a Goan native and lives with her family (husband and two children) in a small village in South Goa. Her family enjoys her cooking so much that they encouraged her to open her own fine foods and confectionery business five years ago, so that she could share her passion with others. Through her business Kim caters food for groups as small as 2 and as large as 200, customizing her meals to each customer's unique them. Get to meet a local family and try some authentic Goan-Portuguese fusion dishes made from locally sourced ingredients and family recipes.

  • The experience takes place in Kim's home in Orlim Village, which is a lovely rural village in South Goa. On arrival you will be greeted with fresh coconut water straight from their tree in the garden or fresh lime juice. Kim will then share more about her passion for food and cooking. She enjoys experimenting with all kinds of cuisines and will explain to you how Goan food has a Hindu Saraswat and Catholic Portuguese influence. Later, join Kim for a short walk around the village, where you will visit a 450 year-old church, a handloom house where they make kunbi saris and shawls and you may even spot a few migratory birds. Then return back to Kim’s house to share a Goan Portuguese meal. You’re free to explore the garden which has a large selection of spices and fruit trees - banana, pineapple, papaya and bimli or you can join Kim in the kitchen while she adds finishing touches to the meal or you can just relax and do some bird watching. Your meal will be a collection of Goan-Portuguese fusion cuisine prepared using ingredients locally sourced or mostly homegrown.
