Lost Recipes of Bengal

Beyond the familiar flavours of Bengali cuisine lies a hidden culinary legacy—recipes once cherished in homes and festivals but forgotten over time. This immersive dining experience uncovers those lost treasures through a curated meal designed by a chef who specialises in researching and reviving ancient regional dishes.

Each course is thoughtfully crafted using rare ingredients and traditional methods, bringing back flavours that have nearly disappeared from contemporary kitchens. Paired with storytelling and optional live cooking demonstrations, this experience offers a unique perspective into Bengal’s culinary past.

  • A one-of-a-kind culinary journey that cannot be found in restaurants or recipe books.
  • Expertly customised menu tailored to your preferences and dietary choices.
  • Insightful storytelling, tracing the cultural, historical, and seasonal roots of each dish.
  • A chance to witness traditional cooking techniques (if demo is included).
  • Perfect for travellers who love regional authenticity, forgotten traditions, and slow, meaningful dining.
  • Enjoy a private sit-down meal featuring rare Bengali dishes such as Chandan Kheer, Bhapa Pithe, Dumur Kaliya, and other lost recipes.
  • Interact with the chef and hear stories behind the rediscovered recipes, ingredients, and techniques.
  • Option to participate in a live cooking demo and observe traditional preparation methods.
  • Gain insight into Bengal’s culinary heritage, including seasonal ingredients and techniques rarely seen today.
  • Experience a meal that combines history, flavour, and storytelling for a truly immersive journey.
