Overall a really nice experience. Our host Karla is very helpful and talkative. Apart from learning to cook some famous Brazilian dishes, which are really tasty, you also get to learn a lot about the local culinary culture and even the Brazilian social-history.

What a lovely activity to do in Salvador! There was a really great group of ladies and we cooked up some delicious local dishes whilst making cocktails. Karla is a wonderful teacher and I highly recommend this experience.
Thanks for the recommendation Nicole. It was a great day and very nice having you at the cooking class.
Karla was so lovely and hospitable. Really enjoyed the experience
Thanks Ross. I'm very glad you took time from your traveling to join this experience 🙏
We loved this immersion into Bahian cuisine, from the market visit with tastings to the cooking class at home. Everything was perfectly organized, and we discovered products, flavors, and traditions that we would not have learned about otherwise. Karla was lovely, passionate, and very generous with her explanations. The class took place in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The prepared dishes were delicious, and we really enjoyed being able to participate in every step. An authentic, gourmet, and human experience that we recommend with our eyes closed! Thank you, Karla, for the recipes shared, which we will not delay in recreating at home.
I was so happy to share this experience with your family, specially knowing you had learned and discovered new flavors. It was a lovely day.
Amazing localhood experience - the guide is so funny and heartsome. tried local, unconcentional types of food - vegetarian option is possible. accompanied by Caipirinhas made the afternoon unforgettable.
I'm happy this experience made your day Victoria. For me was also great meeting you and your friend.
It was a super cool experience with Karla. We learned a lot about Brasilian food and culture and Karla was an amazing host. Thanks a lot. Can highly recommend it.
So many thanks for your recommendation Verena. It was so nice to host you and your friend.
Karla was exceptional. Attentive and eager to share anecdotes about Bahamian culture with us. The appetizers are very easy to make and very fun, and the meal is excellent. My family and I had a very pleasant time, thank you very much Karla!
It was a great time with your family for me as well. I'm happy to know you enjoyed the experience. Thanks for coming.
My husband and I booked a 1-Hour Market Tour and 3-Hour Cooking Class directly with Food & Fun. Due to scheduling, the tour ended up being private - just myself and my husband. From the moment we met her, Karla was fantastic! We toured the market and met many vendors, where Karla shared her expertise in Afro-Brazilian and Bahian food, drinks, and items. We had so much fun on the market tour, until we remembered that we had a multi-hour cooking class next! After getting ingredients from the market, we went to her kitchen, where we made pao de quejio, fried shrimp, fish moqueca, and many other dishes - all while enjoying unlimited caipirinhas! She sent us home with the recipes as well. This tour is great for anyone who enjoys learning about new cultures through great food and conversation when they travel, and the price was more than reasonable for the full-day experience we had. We highly recommend this warm and inviting tour to English-speaking travelers.
It's so exciting for me to share recipes, histories and experiences. Even better to know you had a great day and enjoyed yourselves. Thanks for coming with your husband Ariel.
We had a great time!! The host and her daughter were delightful. The food and drinks were delicious, and the overall experience felt like cooking with family!!
That's what this experience is about, have the feeling of cooking with family, great time and food. We are glad to accomplish that. Thanks a lot
Wonderful experience with Karla and her daughter Maria. They were wonderful hosts, answered all our questions, and were very hands on. Would easily recommend for any visitors who want to experience authentic dishes and escape the bustle of the city.
Thanks for coming with your friends Olivia and for your recommendation. It was such a fun class 😍
