TOP ACTIVITY! Don't miss it

Cheryl_L, Nov 2023

This was one of the best experiences we had our entire trip. What a fun activity. She did an amazing job explaining everything and really engaging the entire group, most of us didn't know each other. The dessert was AMAZING! So much fun and really relaxed environment. Extremely clean and professional

This was a well-run, informative and fun class. Loved that it was in a regular neighborhood apartment and definitely learned some useful baking tips along with the secret to fabulous pastel de nata. Highly recommend signing up!

We had so much fun! Jo makes sure everyone interacts with each step of the recipes to their own comfort level, and she makes the recipes easy to understand. Eating was the big reward - I'm still blown away that we made such delicious treats on the first try!

The yummy side of Portugal!

stefanie_N, Jan 2022

Loved learning about the history of what we were making (natas) and the hands on was so enjoyable. Our knowledgeable and friendly host was able to adjust the recipe to accommodate our gluten free daughter. Lovely to spend time with a local who has obvious (and justifiable) pride in her city and country. She also gave us suggestions in terms of noteworthy restaurants, things to do etc. It was a really enjoyable morning!
