Cataplana for All: From kitchen to the table
Description
The word cataplana refers not only to the utensil but also to the dishes that are prepared in it. The characteristics of this pan allow a wide range of dishes to be created that are a delight for all the senses and are good for one’s heart, as the cataplana enables little fat to be used in recipes. Throughout this experience, participants will have the opportunity to discover all the potential of the most iconic utensil in Algarve gastronomy, and will learn to make a cataplana with fish and shellfish.

We had a wonderful experience at this coking class. Our chef was so fun and explained everything so well. Highly recommend!!
We had the best experience! Learned much about the culture and the food was delicious! Restaurant was gorgeous and the lunch was a true delight
Amazing cataplana cooking class for our family of four! Doris was a fantastic teacher and made the whole experience fun and easy. We cooked a delicious seafood cataplana, then enjoyed it with wine and appetizers on the beautiful patio. Loved it so much we bought a cataplana pot afterwards to take home with us so we can recreate the dish! Highly recommend!
We had a great time cooking with Doris. She took the time to explain the process, the history and the ingredients. We had a lot of fun cooking Cataplana and then enjoying a lovely lunch afterwards with our cataplana, potatoes, bread, wine and dessert.
Very good cooking class that we then enjoyed in the sun on the terrace of the restaurant Little attention from the owners they offered us our drinks our coffees and desserts
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour chaleureux ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié le cours de cuisine ainsi que le moment sur notre terrasse. Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt pour une autre expérience culinaire lors de votre prochain séjour en Algarve !
Margerida was a passionate and knowledgeable teacher that brought joy and interest in cooking but also the story behind the food. It was super easy to learn and pick but new skills while having a blast, definitely would recommend!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Benjamin! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience in our cooking class. Our instructors strive to make each session both educational and enjoyable, so it's wonderful to know that we hit the mark. Hope to see you soon if you return to Algarve.
Wonderful experience for my party of 15 (ages ranging from 14 to 86)! Katrina gave us a welcome intro and Alexandra walked us step by step through the process of using Cataplana to produce a wonderful shellfish and fish meal! We had a few lactose intolerant participants and Alexandra made some accommodations. After making the meal we were seated to some appetizers and white and red wine, then we ate the delicious Cataplana dish and a yummy fig dessert with fruit! Excellent and attentive Service (by Leandro and Diorgo) ! All in all: Educational Wonderful and delicious experience enjoyed by all!
Thank you so much for your kind review! It’s wonderful to hear that the experience was educational, delicious, and enjoyable for everyone, from ages 14 to 86! We look forward to welcoming you and your group back for another culinary adventure in the future!
We really enjoyed it. Susanna, the cook, explained everything really well and we prepared a delicious cataplana together. There was also dessert, starter and free drinks.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful experience with Susanna. It's fantastic to know that her explanations made the cooking process enjoyable and that you loved the Cataplana, along with the dessert, appetizers, and complimentary drinks. Your feedback means a lot to us!
Alex was a great teacher. We learned the history of cataplana as well as the "how to's" of making this traditional Portuguese dish. We were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived. I recommend this to everyone! Thank you for the experience.
From the tour of the market, to the cooking class, to the food...it was all excellent! While I did this class alone, I would recommend it for couples or groups. They have a great room totally devoted to their cooking class.
