Home-style Bengali Meal

The tour provides an excellent window to Bengali fare that reflects Bengal's flavour-packed everyday meal in an earthy setting: this is the food you cannot find at restaurants. Bengal’s culinary traditions are rooted in the riches of its natural environs…the fertile terra firma and its rivers- so rice and fish are daily staples that have a firm niche in the Bengali home kitchen. Yet what would Kolkata be without its multicultural influences as a major sea port— and its most enticing forms are reflected in its foodie interventions.

  • Diving deep into one of India’s most exciting culinary traditions
  • Discovering the unique pleasure of a home cooked meal in Bengali-style
  • Unveiling the varied cultural influences that have shaped Bengali cooking

Led by a home cook who is committed to sharing Bengali authenticity in the best way possible, we will put the spotlight on fresh seasonal produce, local grains, and special traditional recipes that will stay with you for a long time. Menus are customisable based on dietary preference. For smaller groups, this will be done at our partner's local home, and for larger groups, we can do this at an external venue. Details will be discussed upon enquiry. If Bengali food is not preferred, our chef prepares a wonderful "Calcutta Continental" meal that has a unique Kolkata old-school touch, something of a British influence, adapted by the Bengalis. Gratins, tartlets, unique pasta dishes, florentines, tutti frutti, and more are emblematic of this cuisine.
