Shanti Maurice Invites Guests to Dine at ‘Grandma’s Kitchen

Grandma’s Kitchen  underpins Shanti Maurice’s commitment to highlighting the best of Mauritian culture,  built on  the resort’s philosophy that guests  use Shanti Maurice as a base from which to experience the very best that the real Mauritius has to offer. 

The experience begins when guests arrive at Grandma’s local Mauritian home, where she willmimpart her knowledge on Mauritian cooking, which largely revolves around choosing the right ingredients, all of which are hand-picked from the local village  markets.  Grandma’s dishes include Honey Lamb with cinnamon, white wine, soy sauce and ginger, Fish Curry with an array of spices including tamarind, curry, coriander, chili and onions and Pineapple Bomb  – a refreshing sweet treat made from sugar, pineapples, eggs and cream. 

Once the meal has been prepared, guests  will enjoy the traditional  home-style cooking around a communal table, enabling them to sample truly authentic Mauritian cuisine whilst spending time with ‘family’, listening to Grandma’s stories about the past and reviving childhood memories.  To complete  the experience, guests will leave with  a  mini cookbook, filled with a selection of Grandma’s handwritten recipes, photos from throughout her life and a few of her secret cooking tips, so that guests are able to recreate the flavours of Mauritius in their own kitchens.
