How this holiday makes a difference We believe the enjoyment of excellent foods should be combined with efforts to save the countless traditional grains, vegetables, fruits, and milk products that are disappearing due to the prevalence of convenience food and agribusiness. We want to protect our amazing food heritage. In a world where the pleasures of taste are not always learned through leisurely meals around a lively table, we must make a conscious effort to explore, question and experiment. Here we are introducing the south Indian food which is not served in restaurants in the way it is cooked at home .Also an opportunity to learn he way how it is cooked in the homesteads rather than in the commercial mass eating places . This also helps other communities to know more about the south Indian food , its wonderful vegetarian options , how to spice a food properly and an interactive opportunity to learn cooking from the people who know how to do it and this also supports the growers of the particular foods to survive on their activity by creating a demand for their produce in the situation of multinational food conglomerates occupying the big chunk of the market and displacing traditional small food suppliers. Here taste is not standardized, regional versions of food is introduced,the consumer of the food know about the way it comes to the table , protects regional cultural identities of food and gastronomic traditions,safeguards foods and cultivation and processing techniques inherited from tradition and defend domestic and wild animal and vegetable species. This seven day cooking adventure is activity filled and supports local economy by using the produces and services of the local community and contributing to it .The participants also gain very special in-depth into the local traditions,culture, food preparation , and the use of food in the local health traditions and an opportunity to experience the ayurvedic medical massage if you like it , from the real treatment centre of ayurveda in the area |
