Poder Chronicles: A name that intrigued me from the get-go. Poder: meaning the local bread makers of Goa who would traditionally roam around the quaint streets of Goa with a distinctive horn letting people know their local bread seller is here. The smell of these freshly baked goods and it’s variety triggers good, warm and delicious childhood memories.
Nolan Mascarenhas, who soon realized this gap and decided that the Poder needed some saving grace in all our meals, started this initiative in a bid to keep the lovely tradition of incorporating the classic bread and its variants as a delicacy, as something to be revered and treasured. He started the ‘Poder Chronicles’ – an initiative wherein the local Goan bread & its variants (with a twist) are brought into the spotlight for the guests and participants to ravish. It’s a calendared event that is touring across Goa, so if you love some good old bread, you know where to be.
