We had such a wonderful evening with Paulo and his lovely wife. It felt like we were dining with old friends. It was one of the best experiences we had on our trip. The food was amazing, and we left content and full. We plan to make the dishes we helped prepare at home. I highly recommend this experience for anyone who enjoys great food and getting out of the touristy fray to experience an authentic Portuguese evening.

Best cooking experience!
Paula is such a wonderful host and teacher! We began our day at a market where Paula instructed us on the various seafood. We also discovered a delicious fruit we had never seen before. Then we were off to Paula’s home kitchen to prepare an amazing meal. We learned so much during this hands on experience and now have 3 recipes plus a new friend in Portugal. This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Portugal!

Truly delightful!
Paulo and Susana were incredibly welcoming and gracious inviting us into their home and sharing a wonderful Portuguese meal with us. It was a lot of fun helping to prepare the dishes and even more fun sitting down to enjoy them. We couldn’t recommend this experience more and it was a true highlight of our trip.

The perfect home cooking experience
This was perfect. There's always a small degree of risk with things like this because our family and the host family might not click. That said, I was pretty confident because of previous reviews. It turned out perfect for our Sunday lunch. The home is about 25 minutes from the tourist centre of Lisbon, which makes it feel like you are in the countryside but still quick to get to. The family totally got it in terms of making it work for our two kids (11 and 7). They were a delightful family (husband, wife and adult son) and we all had a great time. It was cool to cook and eat as we went. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Highlight of our trip to Lisbon
This experience was absolutely incredible! Paulo and Susana made us feel right at home. They guided us through making delicious appetizers and main courses that we have already recreated at home. This was definitely a highlight of our trip. Thank you Paulo and Susana for your hospitality!

A taste of Portugal!
We joined Paulo & Susana for an incredible private cooking class with our family (ages 1 - 60) on a recent trip to Portugal. What a fun time with family and our new friends - Paulo & Susana - as we learned to create multiple Portuguese dishes. We especially fell in love with the delicious Sausage Pate. We plan to make it at home for years to come. We cannot recommend this experience enough! FIVE STARS!

Family Food and Friendship!
My friends and I traveled to Portugal in March of 2024. By far the highlight of our trip was cooking with Paulo, Susana and Joao! Their home was beyond welcoming as were our hosts. We cooked with them, learned many recipes, and ate the most delicious meal with our friendly teachers. By the time we left (several hours later) we felt as if we were part of their family! Do not miss this opportunity!!!

Susannah and Paulo were wonderful hosts
Paulo and Susannah (and their lovely son) welcomed us into their home and made a memorable evening for us. They are wonderful hosts, chefs, teachers, and now friends. We enjoyed every second and felt at home, abroad. Highly recommend this service and these folks. Don’t forget to ask for rice pudding.
