It is a fun way to learn... - It is a fun way to learn about the culture, from shopping in the market with Joanna to cooking in the kitchen with her experienced mother, Corinna. The dishes were made with simple fresh ingredients with so much flavour. I wish I could captured that smell with my camera when I took the photos! I always want to try catapalan. However, most of the restaurants only offer the dish for 2 people. Now I learned how to make it!

Best cooking class in the Algarve! - We had a wonderful time shopping at the fresh market for our fish and mussels, then cooking! Jo, her mom and team were amazing! We learned so much, took part in preparing the dishes and then enjoying them. Such a friendly and welcoming experience, will definitely book again!

The best cooking class experience - Great class and overall experience! The market visit was really fun seeing our fish chopped up, the kitchen space was bright and cheerful, and the chefs were lovely. We did the seafood class making easy-ish seafood dishes (shrimp, clams, a one-pot rice and fish dish with monkfish, and a passion fruit mousse) that I can actually see us replicating at home. My mom, daughter and I always try to do a cooking class on our annual multi-generational girls trip and this one was the best. Loved it! Would have done a 2nd if we were here longer- highly recommend!
