What is It?
Looking to spend a fun weekend outside the city? If it’s fabulous food, the mountains, music and fresh air that your heart craves, head to the Himalayan village, Sonapani, whose name is derived from a natural spring believed to have medicinal properties.
Expect to spend the weekend in the company of three accomplished cooks: Keith Goyden, Ragini Rainu and Megh Pant. They will cook their favorite dishes {in front of you} and tell you a little about them.
All participants will be encouraged to share their food anecdotes, their recipes, their ideas and thoughts about food, and anything else food related they might want to discuss.
Who is It for?
Food enthusiasts can look forward to sharing their passion for food with like-minded people, and some really sumptuous meals!
Why Should I Go for It?
Delicious food, film screenings, Himalayan flowers in full bloom, and oh did we mention the great singing?
