    It is a fun way to learn...

    Florence_T, May 2026
    It is a fun way to learn about the culture, from shopping in the market with Joanna to cooking in the kitchen with her experienced mother, Corinna. The dishes were made with simple fresh ingredients with so much flavour. I wish I could captured that smell with my camera when I took the photos! I always want to try catapalan. However, most of the restaurants only offer the dish for 2 people. Now I learned how to make it!

    Dear Florence, Thank you so much for visiting The Kitchen and for joining our Market Visit & Cataplana Cooking Class. It was such a pleasure to share this experience with you. We absolutely loved your comment about wishing you could capture the smell through the photos — that made us smile! And now you can finally make cataplana at home whenever you want. Don’t forget to send us photos when you do! Wishing you a wonderful stay in Portugal, amazing Portuguese food and plenty of Portuguese wine. Best wishes, Joana Glória

    Best cooking class in the Algarve!

    We had a wonderful time shopping at the fresh market for our fish and mussels, then cooking! Jo, her mom and team were amazing! We learned so much, took part in preparing the dishes and then enjoying them. Such a friendly and welcoming experience, will definitely book again!
