An Unforgettable Portuguese Culinary Experience with Paula!
If you are looking for an authentic and delicious taste of Portugal, look no further. Joining Paula for a local market tour and cooking class was easily one of the best parts of our trip.
Our experience started at the market, where Paula walked us through the local stalls, showing us fresh seasonal ingredients, fresh seafood, and traditional produce while sharing fascinating insights into local food culture.
Back in the kitchen, the cooking portion was an absolute blast. Paula is a warm, engaging, and knowledgeable guide who made every step of the process enjoyable and easy to follow. We had so much fun preparing the dishes together and learning authentic techniques that we can’t wait to recreate at home.
And of course, the best part was eating our delicious meal together! Every dish was incredible, fresh, and packed with traditional flavor. If you want great food, fantastic conversation, and a hands-on cultural experience, do not hesitate to book with Paula.
Highly recommended!

Authentic cooking experience
Paula is such a kind person. She was a wonderful guide through the market and local stores. Paula was very accommodating with any food likes and dislikes. She was very welcoming into her home and taught us how to prepare a traditional Portuguese meal. She was patient and kind as she taught us how to prepare and cook the meal. We highly recommend this experience.

The unforgettable cooking experience
Cooking with Paula is learning from your friend that has been hiding recipes from you. So much to learn from her. We never met this woman, but somehow we connected on so many different subjects and life in general. She has taught us a lot and also smarter ways to do things in the kitchen. She made cooking enjoyable. Less of a task and more of an enjoyment with the family. We brought our son with us and she was so kind that even our 9 month old bonded with her. Thank you so much for everything you have taught us. I can't wait to return home and introduce these new recipes to our friends and family.
-Best regards

Thank you so much for this beautiful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful time with Sundari in Chennai. It’s especially lovely to know that she made your 9-year-old feel included and turned the cooking class into such a fun experience for the whole family. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Sundari. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the food, conversations, and warm hospitality, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable culinary experience in the future!

Wonderful cooking experience
Paula met us promptly and off we went to the market. Back at her home we began the lesson and cooking. She is very "hands on" for us - just advisory.
The menu was well planned and the food was excellent, if I do say so myself :)
It was just the two of us and Paula - very comfortable.
Highly recommend!

Cooking class with Paula
I really enjoyed my day with Paula, seeing the streets of Almada (specifically Cacilhas) and spending time cooking local dishes. It was great to learn about the history of the town and its evolution over the years she has lived there. Visiting a local food market, supermarket and butcher was a great way to become familiar with the ingredients for the dishes made and experience the place like a local! The day was filled with good conversation, useful kitchen hacks and flavoursome dishes. I cannot thank Paula enough for her hospitality and look forward to testing the dishes and using the tricks she taught me back home!
