Goan food is known by anyone who has heard of Goa, the Sorpotel's and the Fish Curry Rice's fame has spread all over the world. But what if you feel like a bit of Goa and you are half way across the world? Just come to Goan Recipes and get ready to churn out some Goan Magic!
Goan Recipes:
Our Goan recipes are derived from a cookbook handed over to me by my mother Yvette Oliveira Fernandes, who's known by people in family circles, friends and people from across the world for the magic she churns out it the kitchen. Her delicious Marzipan has been sent all the way to Switzerland from here in Bombay.She owes most of it to her mother Ophelia Lobo who at her ripe age of 90 years still spends 80% of her time in the Kitchen making Bibinca for anyone who gives her a little present, toddling on her walking stick.
Why am I Sharing these Recipes?
At this time and age, culture is fusing together with access to information from around the world. I have done my bit to provide the Goan culture and heritage, through a way anyone would love to experience it, by playing with your taste buds and make your stomach growl for more.
About Goan Food:
Goan cuisine consists of coconut milk, since Goa has quite a few, coconut trees. The cuisine is influenced by its Hindu origins, Portuguese colonialism, and modern techniques to churn out some delicious dishes full of spices and flavours of a vibrant culture.

At last! Someone puts up a genuine Goa recipe blog. Thanks. I found your page through an accidental Google search for Goan recipes. Liked your sorpotel recipe, and I hope you post more -- how about chicken cafreal, and croquettes? I like the fact that your recipes are not identical to the Panjim ladies' cookbook (if you search the web, you will see multiple websites with the identical recipe). Thanks for sharing. -- Austin
Hey Austin,
I have passed your message on to mum, shes thrilled and of course we will have some more dishes up all in due course.
Will try to get the Chicken Carfreal or croquettes next although its not a promise.
With much love,
Clyde

Hi There,
I am a Mangalorean and have always found some similarities with the Goan cuisine. I love food especially non-veg. I am looking forward to try more of her recipes. Could you please add caramel custard/flan in your mom's to-do list?

Cool!! I love it when a goan tries to preserve the Goan identity!!
Viva Goenkar!!
I recently went to Goa and had a hard time finding authentic goan dishes in good restaurants. The Menu cards were filled with continental cuisine. It was very dissappointing. All my life I have been a great fan of Goan food and make quite a few goan curries myself. I live in USA and I can pretty much get everything here except Goa Sausages. It will be wonderful if you could share that recipe. I also would like to make Dos but do not know how. All the recipes posted here are mouthwatering. Love them all, Thanks a million.
I'm so glad i found this site. Thxs for creating one. I makes me feel so much at home not just the food but also the ambiance & utencils used!
a big hug to aunty yvette for these great and easy to make recipies. The Pictures along with the steps adds a superb touch to it...and seeing the curry finally prepared makes it mouth watering..you are doing all of us goans a big service ..specially us living abroad..from a 'pucca' goan ..am going to try all of these for my friends..only thing missing will be the feni...cristal dsouza

Ola, just discovered your website. It is excellently displayed. Great anticipation at trying out your receipes. Any possibilities of more christmas kuswar receipes and older traditional goan cooking? Think the lady in the picture (perhaps your Mamma) must be a brilliant chef.
