Great experience. The instructors were knowledgeable and patient. I’ve been cooking for a long time but still learned so much. It was a clean and well set up cooking space. Each small group has their own station and worked to prep each dish under the instructor’s watch. The food was wonderful! Sharing the meal with the other students at the end made for a wonderful evening.
Highly recommend this company.

Our host Ana was fantastic. Very informative and relaxed. This was an experience I thoroughly enjoyed and I am not a cook.

It ended up just being the four of us so it was like a private lesson. Anna was great. So knowledgeable about the food she was sharing and Portugal in general. We had fun and the food turned out great.

Was a fun time! We had nina and marta ! You get to learn the history behind the dishes while also getting to taste your tasty hard work after. Some of the class came late but they were able to still get the rest of us on time. Came solo and left with many friends!

A nice way to learn about Portuguese cooking in a casual atmosphere. Made 3 savory protein dishes. Hosts were pleasant and the kids enjoyed the hands-on experience. No dessert option and only one bottle of wine offered for 5 adults.

Our cooking class was very fun. The other couples who were there were fun to work with and our cooking instructors. Give us a lot of good information and help us with cooking. It would've been nicer to have wine while we were doing the cooking and it would've been nice to have a dessert included as well.

We really enjoyed our authentic Portuguese cookery masterclass! We were made to feel very welcome, the dishes were straightforward to prepare and there was a very sociable atmosphere. It was a delight to sit down with our fellow students at the end to end our dishes. Great fun!

Marta and Ana were incredible instructors who offered an authentic local perspective throughout the cooking experience. They provided cultural and historical insight on the Portuguese cuisine and taught skills we could replicate at home. The recipes were sooooo delicious!

We learnt to make peri peri chicken, cod with dream and a prawn dish. The food was SO good I couln't believe I had actually cooked it! Teachers were very knowledgable and recipes were easy enough to cook at home again myself. Would definitely recommend this class.

We had a great time doing this cooking class! We were 4 couples visiting Portugal for the first time, and we did this on the 2nd day of our trip, which turned out to be a great intro into Portuguese cuisine for us. The instructors gave us lots of info on Bacalhau (salted cod) and its importance to the national cuisine. We also got to taste and learn about the different spicy peppers that the Portuguese favor. This helped inform our choices in restaurants for the rest of the trip, since we had a better idea of what we were ordering and what we liked. We made a total of 3 dishes- the Piri Piri Chicken was my favorite. One member of our party didn't like the fact that we had to prep the shrimp by removing their heads and deveining them, but she just had a glass of wine while the rest of us finished up.
They were generous with the wine at lunch, which we thoroughly enjoyed eating with the 4 other class participants before we had to leave so they could get ready for the next class. Several members of our group said that this was their favorite thing we did while on this week-long trip. It's definitely one we'd all recommend. I would have liked to have done the Pastel de Nata one too!
