We had such a wonderful time at the cooking course! Learning how to prepare the fish curry was not only fun but also truly delicious – a perfect balance of flavors and spices. The visit of the local market was also remarkable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, patience, and the little tips that made all the difference. It was such a special experience to share this with my girlfriend during our time in Mauritius. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an authentic and heartfelt culinary experience!

Highly recommended! Had an absolutely fabulous experience - truly authentic Mauritian cooking and markets. Yaja tailor made the day to even work in some shopping and massage. Sandeep helped as driver and was an amazing tour guide and even helped cooking - I learned so much from the island's rich history and culture. Grateful for this amazing experience!
