Market to Table Private Afro-Brazilian Cooking Experience
Description
This experience offers something that few travelers ever have the opportunity to enjoy: a genuine invitation into the home of a local Bahian family. Rather than attending a commercial cooking school, you will share stories, recipes, and traditions with people who have preserved Afro-Brazilian culinary heritage through generations. The experience combines a guided visit to São Joaquim Market, hands-on cooking, cultural storytelling, and a shared family meal, creating meaningful connections that go far beyond traditional tourism. It is an authentic journey into Bahia’s food, history, hospitality, and African roots—an experience that cannot be replicated in a restaurant, hotel, or professional kitchen.

It was a fantastic experience, the guide was friendly and accessible. First we walked around the market and gave them an insight into all the products. She told a lot about the culture and history of the city. The workshop itself was a lot of fun and the food tasted heavenly!
I can’t say enough great things about this tour. It was absolutely AMAZING! My guest and I were so impressed with the level of service and the truly authentic experience it offered. Andre, our guide, was knowledgeable and engaging, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. The family who led the class was incredibly welcoming and kind. And the food… let’s just say we needed a nap immediately after! 😄 It’s absolutely worth the price — a must do in Salvador! 👏🏾❤️👏🏾
Our experience was amazing and a highlight of our trip. Our guide Andre was knowledgeable and fantastic! Our Chef Antonia and her family treated us like family. We are grateful for this experience and can't wait to make Moqueca back home in North Carolina, USA. Obrigada!
I would not recommend this. The guide couldn't stop telling sexual anecdotes along with innuendos on the side, as though he was trying to get a response or shock us. We were traveling with 2 children so this was uncomfortable; even without them it would have been perverse. The host family was kind, warm and welcoming, a few shared information about the relationship between cooking and culture but the food was awful. Would not make any of it again. Save your time and money!
Hello, surprisingly and for the first time we had a complaint regarding about this delicious food, I understand that you may not appreciate Afro-Brazilian food, but to say that it was horrible, we clearly disagree because it has been the same menu for 20 years and we have never had such a comment. About the speech of the tour guide we will check and certainly take measures so that this never happens again. Just to make it clear, he was asking before your arrival at family home if you preferred another type of food for the children and was told by the Mother that didn’t want have Other kind of food. And the tour guide clearly explain that the moqueca and the other foods contain strong spices. The family that attended has a great deal of experience in cooking and certainly the Bahian food with an Afro base was perfect You had 5 different dishes and even this number anything was good for you. We ask sorry for the tour guide and all the feeling promover by his speech and hope that you may try again this food in others places to guarantee that what you say it’s about the food or your tasting experience
Our tour guide Marcos was truly knowledgeable , so insightful and friendly !!!! We had a great time with him ! Angelica is a queen !!! She taught us with humor how to create the dish amd we were so happy with the results!!! It was amazing !!!! Best tour ever !!!!! Recommend 100%
Thanks to the lovely Angelique for taking us into her house and showing us how to prepare this delicious Bahian fish stew (moqueca). She is already well known for her skills, having appeared on television with a well known French celebrity chef who visited her house. Her personality is fantastic, just like her cooking. All ingredients are completely fresh. You WILL have a great time The trip also included a visit to the Salvador food market with Our guide Vincent who is very knowledgeable and speaks many languages. He can translate if necessary with Angelique. Vincent gave us a class in making caipirinhas which were delicious This trip excursion is quite expensive and lasts just 4 hours, but we really enjoyed it
We really enjoyed the Food Tour with Your Brazil in Salvador de Bahia. We visited two markets and we had a great cooking class with Angelica, an amazing woman from Bahia who taught us how to prepare a perfect moqueca. Everything was perfect and our guide Vincent made our day, we had a 5-star experience with him. Very knowledgeable, very helpful, very enjoyable and he perfectly speaks 7 languages. We really loved our time with him, i recommend to ask for his service 👍
