In our cooking classes, we don't just share techniques and recipes, but also ancient stories passed down through generations. We reveal the secrets behind each dish. Each step is a journey through time, a sensory journey that transports participants to the rustic villages and lively markets of Portugal.
For Ana and Carina, the real magic happens when the people start cooking together. As they mix ingredients and share stories from their own lives, they create bonds that go beyond the kitchen.

We begin this true gastronomic experience with a visit to the local market of Algés, to explore the aromas and vibrant colors of seasonal products. Back in our kitchen, we gathered for a cooking class, exploring traditional techniques and culinary secrets passed down from generation to generation. As we chop, mix and season, we share stories and smiles, creating memories that last. Each dish we prepare is a tribute to the fresh ingredients and rich culinary heritage of Portugal, a sensorial experience that transports us to the heart of local culture. At the end of the cooking class, when our meal is ready, we gather at the table to enjoy our creations. Each bite will be a deep connection with the land and the sea, capturing the entire journey of this experience! This is an exclusive fish and seafood class, we will prepare a Starter, Main Course and Dessert.

These trained professional chefs were wonderful teachers. They taught us how to make delicious but not complicated dishes that Portuguese home cooks make. We started in the small local market where they shop (and know the vendors). They showed us how to do all the steps but let us do the work. The results were delicious. Ana and Carina were delightful, and we had a blast!

The market tour was fantastic - you get to see all sorts of local market products and understand how they could be cooked in the Portuguese way. The cooking experience was great too - we learnt to use natural favours of veggies (tomato and sweet pepper) to bring a fresh and unique taste to the dish, instead of having to add a lot of seasonings. This Portuguese way of cooking is insightful. Before we began the cooking, the tutors also prepared a nice platter as starter which we enjoyed a lot. A highly recommended experience!

What an amazing experience! Anna and Carina met us at the market- not a tourist stop! We shopped with them picking up the finishings for the preparation of what would become a fresh, interesting and delicious authentic Portuguese meal! We started with wine and nibbles and enjoyed the ladies regaling us with stories of life growing up on a farm- where only the freshest will do and sampling olive oil from Carina’s family production. Then it was time to get cooking- all hands on deck! Who knew my husband was so talented! Lol. Spicy shrimp, fresh fish and veggies in the cataplana (you’ll want one!) and a devine dessert. We loved every moment and recommend Anna and Carina wholeheartedly. Definite 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was one of the best cooking classes I have ever taken! Ana and Carina were professional, personable, knowledgeable and fun! My husband and adults kids had a blast, AND the food was outstanding! I would recommend this to anyone who wants an authentic Portuguese experience.

The cooking school was absolutely first-class. From the warm welcome with a beautifully prepared charcuterie board to the full lunch and delightful dessert, every detail was thoughtfully executed. Our instructors were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also so friendly and inviting that they made us feel like part of the family. I give them my highest recommendation and strongly encourage any aspiring cook to attend their class!

We had a great time. Carina and Ana are very friendly and welcome you as family members. It feels like we're at home and cooking with friends. This is a very original way to visit Lisbon and discover a little more of Portuguese culture. The icing on the cake: What we cooked was delicious, washed down with a nice glass of vinho verde in a warm atmosphere.

Best time ever, they looked after our diverse family. Professional chef, children, interested in different ways and husband who was keener on knowledge. A great experience because they both read the room really well and delivered accordingly. I cannot recommend enough- and go at the beginning of your trip to make the most of their incredible knowledge.

My daughter and I had an amazing experience cooking with Ana and Carina. We appreciated every second we spent together and we were wowed by their knowledge and the explanations given. The chefs complement each other very well both in the kitchen and in the exchanges we had. The recipes we cooked were representative for the Portuguese gastronomy, but above all, we acquired good skills to have in the kitchen such as fillet a fish! We truly recommend the chefs and the course!

Learning a lot about the how's and why's of Portuguese foods and cooking. The 2 ladies were very nice and kind and patient with me since I wasn't feeling the best during that time. The food was very interesting and good. I learned a lot not to mention a few techniques that I can use in my own kitchen at home. 😃
