Fiestas or Fests as it is called in Goan culture is meant to be a traditional feast of sumptuous food, drinks, music, dance and fun where people come together to celebrate life and the good times. 

We couldn’t find a better name to give to our passion project than GoanFest which is founded by a group of food enthusiasts on a journey of discovering and sharing their love for good food, health, local ingredients and recipes.

We are travel buffs at heart and the one thing that stayed with us from our numerous trips to Goa was the sumptuous food we kept having, a pot-pouri of flavors that had trickled down from many different cultures across the world and into our plates!

This lead us to go on an exciting food trail journey across the beautiful landscape of Goa, into uncharted villages and farms where they grew their own food. They were culinarians in their own right, creating miracles one meal at a time using recipes passed down over generations.

What we discovered during these many expeditions was a treasure trove of secret local ingredients that were extremely tasty and had innumerable health benefits but were somehow not yet part of the popular foods bandwagon!
