Gomantak Jevom: Tracing Goa's Culinary History

One of the primary indices of a culture, food offers a rich avenue for interpreting any culture. The cuisine and culinary habits of a region depicts rich information about how a region has flourished over time. 'Gomantak Jevom' attempts to study the culinary system and structure of the Goan cuisine. It was done as a classroom project over 6 weeks. It traces the evolution of goa with food as the protagonist, how foreign forces, religion and daily lives of people were shaped by the food consumed there.
I am immensely thankful to Chef Thomas Zacharias from 'The Bombay Canteen' for his feedback on the project, regarding execution and integration into the restaurant. Chef Thomas, is a massive evangelist of Indian regional cuisines; often taking long trips to different part of the country every three months, studying the native food there and representing his learnings on a dedicated menu in his restaurant.
