Calling all foodies! Your Absolute MUST DO in Lisbon! - What an amazing experience! Anna and Carina met us at the market- not a tourist stop! We shopped with them picking up the finishings for the preparation of what would become a fresh, interesting and delicious authentic Portuguese meal! We started with wine and nibbles and enjoyed the ladies regaling us with stories of life growing up on a farm- where only the freshest will do and sampling olive oil from Carina’s family production. Then it was time to get cooking- all hands on deck! Who knew my husband was so talented! Lol. Spicy shrimp, fresh fish and veggies in the cataplana (you’ll want one!) and a devine dessert. We loved every moment and recommend Anna and Carina wholeheartedly. Definite 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An Unforgettable First-Class Cooking Experience! - The cooking school was absolutely first-class. From the warm welcome with a beautifully prepared charcuterie board to the full lunch and delightful dessert, every detail was thoughtfully executed. Our instructors were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also so friendly and inviting that they made us feel like part of the family. I give them my highest recommendation and strongly encourage any aspiring cook to attend their class!

Lisbon differently - We had a great time. Carina and Ana are very friendly and welcome you as family members. It feels like we're at home and cooking with friends. This is a very original way to visit Lisbon and discover a little more of Portuguese culture. The icing on the cake: What we cooked was delicious, washed down with a nice glass of vinho verde in a warm atmosphere.

A great choice- just book and enjoy a professional and value session - Best time ever, they looked after our diverse family. Professional chef, children, interested in different ways and husband who was keener on knowledge. A great experience because they both read the room really well and delivered accordingly. I cannot recommend enough- and go at the beginning of your trip to make the most of their incredible knowledge.

Discover Portugal through cooking with Ana and Carina - My daughter and I had an amazing experience cooking with Ana and Carina. We appreciated every second we spent together and we were wowed by their knowledge and the explanations given. The chefs complement each other very well both in the kitchen and in the exchanges we had. The recipes we cooked were representative for the Portuguese gastronomy, but above all, we acquired good skills to have in the kitchen such as fillet a fish! We truly recommend the chefs and the course!

It was great. - Learning a lot about the how's and why's of Portuguese foods and cooking. The 2 ladies were very nice and kind and patient with me since I wasn't feeling the best during that time. The food was very interesting and good. I learned a lot not to mention a few techniques that I can use in my own kitchen at home. 😃

He must do experience when visiting Lisbon - What a wonderful experience strolling through the market picking out our fresh fish and vegetables with these two wonderful ladies and doing a private cooking class. It was the best experience of our trip so far and highly recommend this class. The ride is about 15 minutes from downtown Lisbon but worth it, what a personal touch and excellent experience
