Chef Simone was great! Our family’s experience with her was wonderful. Even my Brazilian daughter-in-law learned some new things. It was a really fun mix of demonstration, participation and great stories. The feijoada and sides we made were delicious! And so was the caipirinha. Yum!

Top Notch Experience. Highly Recommended.

Experience Brazilian cuisine like a Carioca

Gloria_R, Aug 2025

Chef Simone is enthusiastic, loves sharing the connection between Brazilian history and food and culture. Her kitchen is well suited to small groups. The moqueca recipe was delicious. Well worth an evening in Rio to experience Carioca hospitality.

Amazing experience, highly recommanded

Perrine_R, May 2025

Amazing cooking class, best feijoada I could try in Rio! We had a great time trying different juices, cooking different starters, the feijoada, made caipirinha and tried an amazing coconut dessert! Chef Simone is adorable, you should not miss the opportunity to meet her and cook together!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for the amazing review! 😊 We're so glad you had such a great time at the cooking class — from the delicious feijoada and coconut dessert to the caipirinhas and juices, it sounds like a truly full (and tasty!) experience. Chef Simone is indeed wonderful, and we're happy she made the day so special. Highly appreciated and hope to see you again for more culinary adventures! 🧑‍🍳🥥🍹

Lovely and yummy cooking class

Michelle_C, Apr 2025

My husband and I enjoyed our cooking class. We left with full bellies and with so much information about Brazil. It was a private class and the instructor took time to explain everything and even had my husband involved in the cooking (he doesn’t cook at home). This has been a highlight of our trip!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you for the wonderful review! 😊 We're thrilled to hear that the cooking class was such a highlight of your trip, and it's great to know your husband enjoyed getting involved in the cooking too! It’s always a pleasure to share Brazil’s flavors and culture in such a fun way. Hope to see you both again soon for more memorable experiences! 🌟🍳
