: GOLDEN HEARTS OF GOA, featuring Mr.Joao Godinho
In my journey as a foodie, I have come across vendors/business owners who amazed me with their generosity and kindness. This series focuses only on such Golden hearts who make us believe that humanity still exists.
In a world that’s constantly racing ahead, 79 year old Mr.Joao Menino Godinho reminds us that some traditions are worth holding onto. A third-generation baker at the century-old Godinho Bakery in Majorda, he continues to wake up every day to keep his family’s legacy alive. Even today, the poi is fermented with natural toddy and baked in a traditional wood-fired oven, just as it has been for generations. Despite the hard work and modest returns, his passion for preserving Goa’s authentic bread-making tradition never fades.
Mr. Godinho isn’t just baking bread..he’s keeping a piece of Goa’s heritage alive, one loaf at a time❤️
Feel free to share it with your loved ones❤️
