If you’ve seen the Exotic Marigold movie series, you’d remember that it’s about open minds, surprises, food, culture, color and of course, embracing India. With all her incredible beauty and ironic imperfections. Exactly what this weekend is about (without flying to Jaipur, of course). Here’s what we’d do..
Friday Evening
We’d spend our first evening together, nice and relaxed. With a theme of ‘Street Food Bombayia style’, we will fuss over a variety of some incredibly delicious street food that gets this 22 million people metropolis going everyday and wash it down with some awesome South African wine. And if you are feeling adventurous, we will dress you ladies up in saris or salwars; the gentlemen in turbans and shake a leg to some Bollywood.
Saturday Morning
After an enjoyable group walk through the stunning farm, we will work with you to dish out some traditional south Indian breakfast on a Banana leaf. Often not found in Indian restaurants, South Indian grub combines great taste with health and this is how half of India starts its day ..
Saturday Mid-morning
A yoga, meditation and Nidra (induced sleep) session led by Cape Tonian Yoga guru – Annie Wyatt – to get your day going and leave you with ‘asanas’ to try at home. May be this is where you will get hooked to Yoga for life ..
Saturday Lunch
This relaxed mutliple course signature lunch with delicacies from all over India will get you ‘tipsy on food’. A culinary ride you will not forget in a hurry..
Saturday Evening
We will together enjoy this evening in the kitchen where you get to don chef hats and later, enjoy the fruits of your labor. This evening, we’d get around the fire and do a fun lesson on Indian cooking. We will chop, peal, knead, fry, bake, roast (and then eat) some easy-to-do-at-home-later Indian food. I am sure, it will leave you with a bunch of great party tricks.
Sunday Morning
We will run a fun cook-off for breakfast this morning in which teams will compete to show off their newly learnt tricks with Indian food. Later, we will get you to do some Yoga again and set you free.
