Cook as the Bongs do ( Bengali Cooking Experience )

Overview

The joy of tucking into authentic homemade Bengali food is marked by a certain effervescence that beats eating the same dishes in a restaurant. For one, there’s the homely touch of secret family recipes; then the choice of the menu for the dishes to be made; the fun-filled trip to the shops to pick up all the ingredients…Binding it all is the warmth and indulgence of your hostess and the pleasure of sharing foodie stories over the prepared meal. There’s something really gratifying about that is it not????

There’s no denying Bengal is a foodie’s paradise. And there's nothing to beat Kolkata, the historic capital of West Bengal, for that exceptional gastronomic adventure in a Bengali home, or for that matter, even in a restaurant of high standing.

This is followed up with an exciting cooking demonstration by either a regular housewife or by the owners of the finest restaurants of the city. And the endnote; gorging on traditional Bengali sweets. Another joyful aspect of this experience is getting to share close moments with the family over a delicious meal, which is a perfect ice-breaker amongst strangers.
