Host offerings
Reyna lives with her family in a lavish apartment in Versova in North Mumbai. She is plant-based and has experienced first-hand benefits of a plant based diet. She wishes to reach out to travelers who hope to eat healthy home-made food during their holidays and to show just now delicious healthy, wholesome meals can be! Reyna conducts health-focused cooking classes with themes like oil-free cooking, dairy and meat alternatives, smoothies, breads and salads. When she’s not cooking, she volunteers at The School of Life, where they equip students going to local municipal schools with English and Values and is also a part of SHARAN (Sanctuary of Health and Reconnection to Animals and Nature), a non-profit organization committed to spreading awareness about the medicinal properties of food.
Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.
In-home meal (1 - 10 guests) Reyna and her daughter Shivalika will welcome you with a lime and saffron welcome drink as they explain their cooking and eating philosophy. Their approach is to eat an entirely organic, plant-based diet without the use of oil or sugar. Your meal will focus on what you can easily make when you go back home. Each meal is curated keeping the traveler's country in mind for availability of ingredients.
Cooking experience (1 - 10 guests) Please note that this is a cooking demonstration, not a hands-on cooking class. You will join Reyna and Shivalika in the kitchen to watch them prepare 2-3 authentic Indian dishes that you will eat along with other prepared dishes eaten with rice and Indian breads. They have creative alternatives for every ingredient and can dish out just about any Indian dish without animal products, sugar or oil – and it’s delicious to boot!
Market visit (1 - 10 guests) You will visit a nearby local, neighborhood market to learn about the different kinds of fruits, vegetables and spices available.
