It was an experience... - It was an amazing experience. The cooking class in Lisbon was not only great for everything we learned, but also for the very close and fun atmosphere that was created. It’s one of those really worthwhile plans: you cook, you try delicious things and you also have the opportunity to meet new people and share unique moments. It’s definitely a highly recommended activity if you have time and want to live something different.

Couldn't recommend this traditional cooking class more highly! - Couldn't recommend more highly!
We did the traditional Portuguese Cooking class on a Friday with Carina and Ana. It was a brilliant, tasty and intimate way to dive into the flavours of Portugal. The green wine, local cheeses, meats and seafood were delicious. As was the Moscatel at the end. It felt like cooking with a big family! Would definitely recommend for those who enjoy cooking, meeting new people and want to do something different.

Anna was great with my... - Anna was great with my kids, agree 7 and 10 who help us out cooking at home. The fresh ingredients from her parent's farm made it feel like we were part of if the family. The food was delicious that we prepared and she keeps the banter going so that we all (8 total people) felt like old friends.

Must do in Lisbon!! - This was a highlight of our time in Lisbon! With a small group, you get to cook authentic and homemade Portuguese meals with fresh ingredients. Ana and Carina are so friendly and kind - they’re truly the best!

Fabulous and fun cooking class, delicious and healthy dishes ! - The two charming chef instructors were organized, highly skilled and excellent teachers. The kitchen was well equipped and pristine. The table was beautifully appointed with authentic, lovely, colourful Portuguese ceramics. The quality of the food (vegetables, fish, seafood, wine, etc. ) was of the highest grade. The dishes selected were healthy yet incredibly delicious.
My husband and I truly enjoyed every well planned moment. It was a memorable experience that was a high light of our 6 weeks Portugal vacation. We strongly recommend this class.

Book it now!! - Amazing vibes, fabulous food, and amazing women! Ana and Carina create such a warm atmosphere and showcase Portuguese food with authenticity and passion. The flavors are simple but robust, and come straight from each ingredient. Their love for food and people is genuine, and they are so wonderful with kids. Our family truly had an unforgettable experience.

Simply a wonderful experience - First the chefs were engaging and personable.
Secondly they made cutting and slicing vegetables fun. Lots of smiles and laughs.
And I am not a cook.
They went on to serve us a glass of wine while we cooked under their direction.
Never hurts to drink a glass of wine while learning.
Gave us the history of the dishes we were preparing, guiding us all the way.
The end result was delicious.
We all sat congratulating ourselves on a job well done.
I would highly recommend the chefs and their school.

Perfect family activity - Great time! We had a private class with 9 of us - 5 kids were sll 16 or older but think would be great for younger kids too. Instruction was clear and easy. Ingredients were super fresh and resulting food loved by all (and more than we could possibly eat). Highly recommend

The best meal cooked by yourself with Ana & Carina - Ana and Carina are not only great hosts, they are super nice and very well prepared so you can make a delicious Portuguese diner in a very good atmosphere. They know how to make you feel like a real chef and all ingredients are super fresh. We loved it!
