Tasty and informative experience

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.

Immersion in Bahian cuisine

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.

Operator response

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.

A fun and delicious experience - take the class!

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.

Operator response

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.
