Great cooking class in Porto! - My husband and I enjoyed a delightful evening with Vitor at his cooking studio. We had a private 4 course dinner full of conversation, good food and wine. Vitor is warm and welcoming and we especially loved being made to feel like we were being welcomed into the home of a good friend. A delightful experience!

Delicious food and new skills, insights and friends! - We had an amazing and memorable night with Viktor and Antonio from Cooking in Ribeira. While the group was eclectic and diverse, and started with reserve and timidity, by the end of the night we were all laughing and hugging. Chef Viktor using food, as the common bond, helped us to understand the history, traditions and basic skills of Portuguese cooking. Divided into groups for appetizers, soup, main course, side dishes and desserts we sliced, diced, stirred and simmered while listening to history and stories. "The soup must be like silk!" We collaborated with strangers, explained our dishes to the groups based on Chef's prompts, and humor (along with a generous amount of wine) kept us laughing and sharing into the night. We surprised ourselves with dishes that were in fact quite delicious. We learned a lot and had a most enjoyable and memorable evening. I would highly recommend the experience.

Fantastic food experience - As a tour operator, this was my second time having our group experience this fantastic cooking class with Cook Ribeira and our chef Vitor. The quality of the food, the inclusion of our guests preparing the food, and Vitor's wonderful and engaging personality, made this day one of the highlights of the tour. It's truly masterful how Vitor can handle 14 guests at one time and deliver such an awesome food experience.

The highlight of our trip!! - This experience was fabulous. We have done other cooking classes in Europe and have always enjoyed them. You learn to make great food and get to connect with at least one local person - so fun! Vitor was a great host. We had his spacious kitchen all to ourselves (our family of 5 - kids aged 9, 11, and 17). As Vitor is a great dad himself, he easily involved all the kids in the food prep and everyone genuinely enjoyed themselves. The food was super delicious and he even had a great solution when I accidentally oversalted a dish. We learned so much about the Portuguese people and what it's like to live there. It was just such a fun morning that we all enjoyed so much. Thank you Vitor!!

A Delightful Introduction to Portuguese Food and Culture! - Our family of 5 adults had a delightful, delicious and educational experience learning to cook in the traditional Portuguese style with Vitor! His instructions and insight to the culture of Portugal was insightful and fun.
My family enjoyed the event as it was interactive and involved all five of us. I learned to make a fish stock, while my wife learned to bake an almond pie. We enjoyed a meal of grilled chorizo, steamed clams, and an entree of shrimp with rice. We all enjoyed the technique of floating the raw shrimp on a bed of herbs as they cooked into the stock. The Portuguese wine pairing was superior.
Vitor was warm, welcoming, and is a true ambassador, spreading his love for the culture of Porto and Portugal. This was an amazing experience, and well worth the cost. We would take another class from Vitor on our next visit to Porto!
My family all HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cook in Ribeira!
