A fantastic cooking class!

5.00This cooking class was wonderful with Tania and Tomas. We learned a lot about the history of the dishes we were making, and got to hear their personal relationship with the recipes as well. The focus was on learning easy cooking skills that translate to at home cooking, while also getting to make and taste traditional Porto dishes. The food was fantastic, and the company of Tania and Tomas was so much fun. Would highly recommend.
Wonderful experience!

5.00We had the best time. Tania and Toms create an amazing experience. We prepared three authentic Portuguese dishes with wine pairings. Tania is a classically trained chef and Toms assisted as sous chef and the one who presented and spoke about all the wines. We learned simple tips that can be applied to every day cooking and an amazing use for parchment paper. Tania and Toms graciously made wonderful accommodations for my friend who is gluten free. A great learning expensive! It was delightful meeting Tania and Toms, along with the other people in the class, a delightful apron to take home and a spectacular meal. The very best experience!! Thank you!!
Absolutely recommended!

5.00We had a great time with Tomas, as our guide through Bolhao market learning about different wines and appetizers. Then we went to the cooking class where Tania welcomed us into her kitchen teaching us how to prepare traditional Portuguese dishes. Our favorite which was saved to the end was the French Toast type dessert. You will be mad at yourself if you don't book this class. Tania and Tomas are warm, wonderful hosts, professional and so welcoming! Thanks for doing the dishes, Tomas!
Just the experience we were looking for in Porto!

5.00Recently, while in Porto, Portugal, we took this cooking class with Chef Tania, with her spouse Tomas assisting, and wow… what an experience from start to finish. The day began with a tour of Mercado do Bolhão with Tomas, where we met another couple participating in the class. We shared wine, tried sardines for the first time, and learned more about the market and Portuguese food culture. It was the perfect way to start the experience. After the market tour, we walked over to the apartment for the cooking class, and let me tell you — everything was flawless. We’ve had the privilege of taking cooking classes in private locations in Paris, Budapest, Italy, and India, and out of all of them, the attention to detail and overall execution of this class was by far the best. Chef Tania was incredibly hands-on, welcoming, and engaging throughout the entire experience. She encouraged questions, made everyone feel completely at ease, and created such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Having recently moved to Lisbon a few months ago, I especially loved being able to ask a real Portuguese chef questions about cooking and ingredients, and she was so generous with her knowledge. We learned so much, laughed a ton, ate incredibly well, and left genuinely excited to recreate the dishes at home. I truly cannot recommend this class enough. It was one of the highlights of our time in Porto.
A delightful evening!
