It was a nice intro
Overall it was a very nice introduction to Portuguese dishes. Chefs were very nice and explanatory. You won't have full hands-on cooking but you will collaborate with others on adding ingredients or stirring/chopping.

It was so much fun to...
It was so much fun to cook with my family and meet new people. The instructors were very friendly and informative. Our food was delicious!!!
K
Okay class
Good food, however felt more like a cooking demonstration than a cooking class. Our instructor was always doing the steps for us or when it got to the steps with the prawns and for most in our group first time taking the shell off the prawn, our instructor did over half of them herself because she claimed she really likes doing it. We had three hours but it felt very rushed to get everything done in two. Overall liked but not loved.
M
Fun experience.
Very good experience, affordable and very friendly staff. Only were contained in the drinks, spoke in juice that was not presented and the wine, only one bottle per group, we just drank water.
J
Great for expert chefs and beginners!
This class was great! We are relatively experienced with cooking, but this class was perfect because while some people got the general “learn to cook” explanations, we still felt like it was a great class because we learned all about Portuguese-specific cooking and definitely came home with recipes we will be repeating. You definitely won’t leave this class hungry, plenty of food was made and all of it was delicious!

It ended up just being...
It ended up just being the four of us so it was like a private lesson. Anna was great. So knowledgeable about the food she was sharing and Portugal in general. We had fun and the food turned out great.

Great Experience, worth every minute and cent
Not much to say...... It was an absolute fantastic experience. Cooked from ingredients that we bought together with Jose at the market. Made a variety fish Cataplana. Thank you for being just great.
