The instructor was great, and so were the other guests. I would definitely make the 3 dishes at home. Love the simplicity of the recipes.

It was one of the highlights of our 3-week trip. Whole family, including teenagers, all agreed this was the best and we would do something like this in every city we travel to in the future. It is a memory we will cherish forever and recipes we will enjoy at home! Everyone agreed, the recipes we made came as top three sandwiches (local recipe), EVER!

We had a class with Marta and it was extremely informative and dynamic. She accompanied us and guided us all the time. Although it was a small group of people, the experience was spectacular with spectacular people. We ate what we did and it was wonderful. I definitely recommend these classes and any class in this space.

Delightful cooking class with hands on experience while learing the culture and history of the food. There were 2 couples total so our experience was a small group learning environment. The food was easy and so good. We had more than enough food for the 4 of us. I would highly suggest this cooking experience.

This was a wonderful experience. Initially we thought it was just dinner, but were pleasantly surprised when we got a nice walk and the history of Fado. Miguel was super informative and even translated the songs for us. We can’t say enough good things about him. He made the experience so much more enjoyable. The singers and musicians were very talented and it was fun to participate. We also really liked the food and wine. Don’t hesitate to book this excursion. You won’t be disappointed.
