In the quaint village of Aldona, The Project Cafe is more than just a boutique hotel — it’s a vibrant hub where art, design and gastronomy come together.
With its curated interiors and a commitment to creative experiences, it will play host to a transformative culinary event — The Superstuff workshop by POSA Duo — on Saturday, April 19, 2025.
REDEFINING SALADS AND SMOOTHIES
Leading the workshop is Sai Sabnis, a whole foods chef, trained in health-supportive culinary arts in New York. As the founder of Posa Mindful Gastronomy, Sai has dedicated over a decade to blending fine dining with healthful eating and sustainability.
Her mission is clear — to challenge the notion that healthy food is bland. “Healthy should not be boring,” she asserts.
Salads are a fun format to build fulfilling creative meals and use exciting ingredients that connect us with the abundance around.

Joining her is Agnieszka (Agni) Rozenska, a dynamic Polish native who made India her home six years ago. With a rich background in 5-star hotel and bar management, Agni transitioned from crafting cocktails to creating “smart smoothies” — science-backed blends aimed at enhancing vitality and longevity.
At 44, inspired by her personal transformation, she champions resistance training and protein-rich nutrition, aiming to empower women to stay active and energised throughout life.
Participants of The Superstuff workshop will get to delve deep into the art of salad-making, learning to view salads not just as side dishes, but as complete, balanced meals.
HANDS-ON CULINARY EXPERIENCE
Participants of The Superstuff workshop will get to delve deep into the art of salad-making, learning to view salads not just as side dishes, but as complete, balanced meals.
The curriculum covers selecting and combining ingredients for maximum nutritional benefit; enhancing the flavour and nutrition of vegetables; simple fermenting techniques to boost gut health and crafting colourful, nutritious dressings.
Emphasising the versatility of salads, especially in warm climates like that of Goa, the workshop will highlight how these dishes can be spontaneous and fulfilling.
As Sai notes, “Salads are a fun format to build fulfilling creative meals and use exciting ingredients that connect us with the abundance around.”
