This recipe website is a tribute to our Mum and Nannie, Grace (nee Lobo/Da Cruz of Moira and Aldona), and Dad and Grandad, Narciso (Pinto/Lima of Candolim and Ucassaim), whose mouth-watering Sunday night dinners were so memorable and filled with laughter and love.
More than just a collection of recipes, The Delhi Rd Cookbook serves as a map of our family’s history. Together, we’ll trace three vibrant culinary journeys: from the sun-drenched Hindu Konkan coast and Portuguese-influenced Goan Catholic kitchens, through the bustling spice markets of East Africa, and finally, home to Delhi Road in London.
It is also dedicated to their much-loved children—Claude, Chris, Lorraine, and Lilian—and their nine grandchildren: Andrea, Kimberley, Rachel, Sophie, Jordan, Rebecca, Helen, James, and Lizzie.
May these recipes spark your curiosity, ignite your taste buds and inspire you to try your hand at traditional Goan cooking and keep these memories alive.
