Loved our special time at this workshop!
The workshop was very well organized, and each of participants got ample attention from the facilitators without feeling rushed or pushed! We loved that they explained the history of the tiles as well. All of the facilitators were warm, friendly and helpful, but I’d like to make a special call out to Maria and Bea who were very engaging with us! Thank you to the team at Boiler Studio for making this a memorable experience for my parents and me! ❤️

Thoroughly enjoyable...
Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Small group of 8 people and a fantastic host that taught us all with skill and humour. The wine flowed, everyone played a part in making the pastel de natas and the end result was very tasty. If you like to have a crack at some baking, enjoy eating and drinking then this is for you.

An Absolutely Amazing Experience!
What an unforgettable culinary experience in Porto, Portugal! Chef Afonso was absolutely amazing! His passion for Portuguese cuisine and culture truly shined throughout the entire experience. He explained everything beautifully, from the ingredients and traditional cooking techniques to the fascinating history and culture behind each dish.
The visit to the local market was the ultimate highlight! Experiencing the sights, aromas, fresh ingredients, and vibrant atmosphere made us feel like true locals rather than tourists.
Chef Afonso was knowledgeable, engaging, patient, and genuinely passionate about sharing his culinary heritage. This was so much more than a cooking class—it was a beautiful journey through Portugal’s food, traditions, and culture.
If you’re visiting Porto, this experience is an absolute MUST! Thank you, Chef Afonso, for making our time in Portugal even more memorable! 🇵🇹❤️

This class is "nata" be missed!
This class is absolutely outstanding--100% worth your time and money. The whole team (but especially our teacher Mike) was fun, warm, and welcoming of all skill levels. I'd say this is a must-do for anyone, but especially for vegans! They didn't just "accommodate" us-- they went out of their way to make sure our experience was equal to that of the nonvegans. And taught us how to make some killer pastels!

A Must Activity in Porto (if you enjoy cooking)
It was one of the best experiences we’ve had in our travels. Anna, as an Australian Ex-pat, knew what we wanted/needed to know on our visit to Porto as well as what would be a unique experience. She is funny and practical which made cooking so very enjoyable. The visit to the Market was lovely (we went back later as well). The use of a kitchen space in a boutique hotel for our cooking and meal was fun venue. We highly recommend this experience and Anna as a guide/chef!

Great variety of local bites
Kelly led an incredible tour, taking us to small places with varied food tastings. She shared interesting details about each bite and also has a wealth of knowledge about Porto. I was traveling solo but I felt totally fine joining the group and had a perfect tour!

My family had the most...
My family had the most fun time learning to make Pastel de Nata! The staff was super friendly and informative as they taught us about the techniques and history of making these delicious Portuguese treats! I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Porto!

Baking Pastel de Nata with a pro!
The instructor, Clara, was exceptional. She was very pleasant, easy going, easy to understand, engaging all 6 of us in the preparation of the pastel de natas.
We each took turns, and with her helpful guidance, she instructed us in the individual steps required to complete the task in the 2.5 hours. The pastel de natas were DELICIOUS and we even got to take some with us. There was green wine & tea as well on the table for us to partake. I would totally refer others to take this baking class, even if you’ve never baked before. Clara was delightful!
There was some difficulty in arranging the exact location but eventually it was resolved and everything worked out just fine. Highly recommend.

Great cooking class
Tania, the chef was outstanding! We always search out cooking classes when we travel and this experience did not disappoint. The steps were easy to follow and the food came out great and was delicious. Tomas, Tania's husband was also a great source of knowledge about the wines that accompanied the dishes. A not to be missed experience in Porto!

Terry is amazing. So much fun for the whole family.
We did a pastel de nata making class and Terry was absolutely amazing. I’m coeliac, and even though I had my own workstation, she made sure I felt fully included with the rest of my family the whole way through. She’s an absolute bundle of energy and even got my teenage boys involved and having fun, which isn’t always easy!
I felt so spoilt. It’s not often I get to enjoy beautifully made treats like this, and these were gorgeous. The added bonus of getting to finish off the custard was a lovely touch too. Cannot thank Terry and her colleague enough for such a wonderful afternoon.

Minnesota home cooks
It was lovely! Directions to get in were a little difficult to understand but we got in on time. Jorge was fantastic. English was excellent. We four guests were all home cooks and learned something. The conversation and the wine went along with a wonderful meal. Our 3 hour event stretched on for 4 and a half hours and that was a GOOD thing. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jorge and already have when we were on a boat and wine tour the next day.

Pastry fun in Porto!!
Patricia and Maria were excellent instructors. They coached us in the proper technique’s to prepare the different components of Pastel de Nata and the end result was a wonderful pastry and whole lot of fun. The studio was spacious and comfortable and the port and champagne were delicious. Highly recommended, but only if you’re ready to have a great time.
