A Culinary Delight By Chef Franco

Nestled along the pristine Arossim Beach and 15-minutes away from the airport, Park Hyatt Goa Resort and Spa is a charming Indo-Portuguese village housing 250 Pousada style guest rooms and suites. Set within 45 acres of landscaped gardens, with glimmering waterways and lagoons, the resort is a perfect reflection of the character and vivacious heritage of Goa. Known for their culinary delights through the Masters of Food & Wine series, Chef Franco brings a flavour of Argentinian grills to the shores of Goa paired with South American red and white wines. The 'Park Hyatt Masters of Food and Wine' is a series of sophisticated culinary and beverage experiences hosted at Park Hyatt locations around the world. 

This exotic Masters of Food and Wine evening begins with an educative and interactive session by Chef Franco as he demonstrates the art of perfecting Argentinian cuisine, with delicately balanced the aromatic flavours. There is a cooking class followed by an alfresco dining experience at The Verandah, with an assorted buffet of authentic Argentinian grills and South American wines. The alluring Argentinian specials include a delectable spread of vegetarian delights such as roasted asparagus and tomatoes with mixed salad, roasted peppers and sautéed spinach, melted goat provolone cheese with cherry tomato jam, fresh herb sauce with honey and rosemary roasted potatoes, garlic cream, chimichurri and Malbec wine sauce.

The non vegetarian live stations will be serving up lamb loin with roasted tomatoes, asparagus, rocket leaves and Malbec sauce, roasted sea bass with vegetables (rescoldo) celery salad, lemon chicken with roasted peppers and sautéed spinach. Pork ribs accompanied by rosemary potatoes, roasted garlic cream chimichurri and malbec wine sauce, lamb rack with mixed salad, chimichurri and garlic cream are on everyones palate as they witness this spectacle. 

The highlight of the dinner is touted to be the seven hours roasted lamb tied to the cross, over hot charcoal of Quebracho. An indulgent dessert counter will offers some delightfully fresh desserts like crème caramel with whipped cream and caramel sauce, pancakes with dulce de leche, rice pudding with cinnamon and orange and lastly ricotta lemon tart.
