Exceptional and fun experience

Caitlin_M, Mar 2026

Maria's cooking class was a highlight in our trip to Portugal! She was good at communicating ahead of the experience to confirm and accommodate any allergies/etc... She also had already pre-cut some of the ingredients to save time, so we could enjoy our meal together! We had a wonderful time and 10/10 would recommend Maria's teaching and hospitality!

Welcoming and fantastic chef

Maria was a fantastic host and chef. She welcomed us into her home and taught us some simple recipes for very good food. I would always recommend Maria - she was great.
