Where Curiosity Cooks, Reads, and Celebrates Culture
At Savoured Stories, we believe that food is more than what’s on your plate — it’s a story passed down, a ritual shared, a memory stirred. That’s why we’ve built more than just a blog — we’ve nurtured communities.
Here’s where you’ll find us coming together to read, cook, and celebrate our shared heritage, all while exchanging knowledge across generations and geographies.
📚 The Reading Club
Twice a month, we gather (virtually) to explore books that nourish the mind — from food history and forgotten recipes to cultural memory and culinary anthropology. Expect rich conversation, a few literary debates, and the kind of books that leave an aftertaste.
Past Reads:
- Stories of Muslim India: Forgotten Foods
- Essays on Goan syncretism and seasonal rituals
- Selections on spice trade and culinary colonization
🍳 The Cooking Club
This is where home cooks and culinary professionals unite in a spirit of experimentation. We explore heirloom recipes, reinterpret tradition, and set monthly challenges — from mastering the perfect bebinca to reinventing a forgotten pickle.
No gatekeeping. No fluff. Just good food, honest questions, and an occasional kitchen disaster worth laughing about.
🪷 The Culture Club
A space for those who are curious about the invisible threads that tie festivals, rituals, ingredients, and language together. We discuss anthropological essays, host guest conversations, and document stories from the field — especially the ones that don’t make it into cookbooks.
Whether you’re here to deepen your research or just scratch an itch of curiosity, this is where history becomes alive and lived.
Want to join one? Or all three?
Each club lives on a dedicated WhatsApp group — informal, welcoming, and always buzzing with ideas. Whether you’re a first-time reader, a hobby cook, or someone obsessed with why Goan vinegar disappeared from our shelves, there’s a place for you here.
