Welcome to At Home with Galavante, where we bring you the world. In this exciting episode, we discuss cuisines and drinks inspired by our trip to Mauritius, an Indian Ocean island paradise. We initially went to Mauritius thinking it was just some tax haven. But little did we know we would fall in love with the culture and the food.
Mauritius, a true melting pot of diversity, offers a culinary experience like no other. It seamlessly blends the flavors of French, Indian, Chinese, and Creole cuisines into a delightful tapestry of tastes and aromas. Imagine the infusion of cumin and cardamom from India, the influence of noodles and rice from China, and the vibrant chutneys and Creole sauces from Africa. It is like a fusion of classic French bouillabaisse and tantalizing curry, resulting in a pleasant, tomato-based version of Indian cuisine enhanced by the essence of all these remarkable cultures.
In this video, our founder, Christine Drinan has the pleasure of hosting her dear friends, Nandini and Yusef Austin, also known as The Cocktail Architect. Nandini, a native of Mauritius, will be sharing authentic and delectable Mauritian recipes. While Yusef will craft cocktails inspired by the paradisiacal spirit of this island.
