After a leisurely morning enjoying your overwater bungalow, it's time for a culinary journey through Polynesia.
Accompanied by a local chef, you'll select fresh, lush ingredients; hand-picked fruits, vegetables, and the catch of the day, each one sharing a story of the island's rich bounty. In the intimacy of a private kitchen, you'll dive into a hands-on cooking session. Under the guidance of the chef, learn how to prepare signature Polynesian dishes, such as the refreshing 'Ia Ota' (Poisson Cru), rich coconut-milk-infused fare, and savory 'Fafa' (Taro Leaf with Chicken). It's about connecting with local culture as much as it is about learning new recipes.
The cooking class will be paired with stories of Bora Bora’s culinary heritage and tips on how to balance exotic flavors, ensuring the experience is both enlightening and delightful. This sensorial voyage will culminate in a leisurely lunch, where you will feast on the dishes you've created, complemented by stunning island views, creating a lunchtime narrative they won't easily forget.
This unique cooking class and lunch offer a deliciously immersive way to understand Polynesian culture, forging a connection to the island that goes beyond the pleasures of a typical dining experience. It's the taste of Bora Bora, crafted by their own hands, and savored in the company of new friends.
