About the Optional Cooking Workshop & Samoussa Demonstration

  • 10:30 - 12:00 - COOKING WORKSHOP to Unleash your Inner Chef

From 10:30 to 12:00, you have the unique opportunity to be the chef and craft your own lunch under the guidance of Marie-Michèlle. Explore the depths of Mauritian cuisine, cooking techniques, tips, and cherished grandmother's recipes.

The journey extends beyond the kitchen—take a stroll through Marie-Michèlle's kitchen garden, the source of the fresh vegetables that will grace your plate. And to top it all off, you'll have the chance to learn the art of folding, filling and making delicious samoussas.

  • 11:30 - 12:00 - SAMOUSSA DEMONSTRATION

If you’re short on time or simply captivated by the art of making samoussas, this 30-min demonstration is tailor-made for you. Get ready to discover the secrets of crafting the perfect samoussa, and perhaps, leave with a new skill to showcase at your next culinary gathering back home.

*Samoussa is a savoury snack characterised by its thin, crispy pastry shell with spiced filling, which is typically deep-fried to golden perfection. This delightful culinary creation reflects the island's rich cultural diversity, combining Indian influence with Mauritian flair.

Special Offer: Book two Signature Dishes (see menu below) and enjoy the Cooking Workshop including Samoussa Demonstration for free!
