8.Portuguese Cooking Experience in Lisbon

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 140 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $109

Cook a three-course Portuguese meal in central Lisbon with wine, local traditions, and a small-group chef-led class.

“This was a fun evening where we met some really nice people. The cooking part of it was a little different to previous courses we have been on; this is a group-cook, which generates a meal between you, rather than each cooking every course. You don’t learn the cooking skills quite so much, but do get a good overview of a number of courses. We really enjoyed it, but my expectations were of a different format. I hope this review sets yours!”

Review of Paula’s private Lisbon market tour and cooking class, with a Cacilhas market visit, Portuguese-Goan recipes, and practical booking advice.

“Paulina met us at the ferry station, and we walked together through a very scenic route to her studio, stopping at the market on the way, and getting to know eachother. At the studio we cooked more than 3 dishes following her precise instructions, and then ate what we prepared, which was very tasety. The whole event took much longer than planned, without even noticing… Paulina is an extremely welcoming and interesting host - we reccomend this experience to those who are interested in people and food combined. We loved it.”

Cook Portuguese and Goan dishes in Paula’s Almada home, with a ferry ride, local stories, wine, and a shared meal in Lisbon.

“We missed the ferry and we were 10 minutes late. No problem, she said. That comment set the stage for an incredible evening. It was a casual evening, she showed us simple meal preparation like how to cut an onion without crying, how to mix, how to fill pastries. It was all good and we had fun doing it. She really knows how to move around in the kitchen. I would do this class again, if for no other reason, just to spend another evening with Paula, such a wonderful hostess. Such a wonderful person. I feel incredibly lucky to have experienced it.”
