“I am a foodie” and there is no doubt about it. My love for food in my earlier days motivated me to pursue a career in the food industry. Over the years through my profession, I have been introduced to a lot of cuisines from different parts of the world. My craving for food has triggered a new found hobby in me i.e. “Cooking”. I enjoy every minute spent in the kitchen producing traditional and fusion dishes from around the world.
I have a simple motto in life “If you can eat it, so can I” and this has led me into experimenting with a lot of common and exotic ingredients in the food industry.
The photographer in me works on the creative presentation of the dishes, that I produce in my tiny kitchen. My peers used to always say “what looks good, tastes even better”.
Come join me as I unfold my delicious memories of food with you starting with Authentic Goan cuisine …..
Congratulation Alves

Thanks for the recipe, it was fantastic, it reminded my husband of his time in Goa, reminiscing of the good times. Any chance you would have a recipe for Prawn samar curry, some call it samarachi code, my grandmother used to send us the spice mix and all we had to add to it was the coconut juice – milk.
Thanks

Hi Alves, I visited the Mapusa market recently, there a lady sold me a fish that she told me was called ‘Ponne’. She had made diagonal slits all along the length of the fish and told me that it was best in a curry. I did make a curry and it was quite tasty, but nobody seems to know what the name of this fish is. Can you help me? Thank you.
