India On the Menu - Culinary Holidays Brochure

India On the Menu - Culinary Holidays from On The Go Tours is a cooking holiday designed to demystify Indian cuisine and give travellers the confidence to experiment with its flavours. Set in Goa, amid coconut palms, golden sand and laidback living, it pairs hands-on cooking with the pleasures of a beach getaway.

A Relaxed Cooking Holiday in Goa

This is not a regimented course nor a tightly organised group affair, but more of an easy cook up with plenty of time to yourself. Goa offers a foodie's dream and a beach lover's paradise in equal measure, with fabulous local seafood, a staggering choice of fruit and vegetables, colourful markets and fresh, fascinating spices.

If you are the cook and your companion is not, there is no annoying sacrifice and no clash of opinion. It is both a beach holiday and a cook holiday, so you can do either or both.
