The chefs are trained and have abundant knowledge about the local delicacies, recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation and a host of other nuances that are specific to the cuisine of the place. Appam is a speciality that is typical to South India and is consumed by the locals as a staple. Paired with various stews that usually consist of chunks of meat or seafood smothered in rich, luscious coconut based curries; these are recipes that have been around for generations.

Being surrounded by the sea, fish is a huge part of Kerala’s staple diet. Coconut milk, kokum and tamarind are spices that are usually used in the preparations. The resorts take ample care to ensure that the produce is fresh and the materials have been sourced from the market every single day. The food is freshly prepared and hygiene is something that is key when it comes to serving the best quality food. The buffets are lively, full of numerous options to choose from and offering a glimpse into the culture of the place of visit.

Here is an excerpt from Chef Abhishek’s interview for our blog (What the Chef Said) Quality ingredients are crucial for any chef. There are standard specifications that we abide by to ensure everything that leaves our kitchen is top quality. We have specifications for every item used in the kitchen, such as:

• Packaged foods from vendors must be FSSAI certified. This is checked by a team comprising of purchase managers and chefs on a daily basis.

• We ensure ingredients come in a specified manner and are at the right temperature when we receive them.

• Most of our resorts and kitchens are ISO 22000 certified. It is mandatory that these processes are documented and adhered to, by everyone involved.

• We have ongoing training and set of internal as well as external audits that take place from time to time to ensure there are no lapses.
