Vitor keeps it fun and informative - I'm very late writing my review as my America's Test Kitchen Taste of Portugal trip was late Sept/early Oct; but my experience with Vitor and his partner (apologies that I've forgotten a name) was fabulous. An amazing afternoon of cooking, learning, insightful stories, funny jabs and barbs all in good humor. Vitor was outstanding, I was very impressed with his knowledge, ability to teach, keep it fun and witty, etc. If you are looking for something fun, this is a must. Thank you Vitor!

Pilgrims in Portugal - The techniques, ability to all be included and the food made was exceptional. The best part for the 4 of us was the company of George. He was humorous, patient with us and very informative of Portuguese cooking. We highly recommend and ask for George!!! Colleen and traveling Pilgrims from Texas

Best Food Wine Cooking Class in Porto - What can we say. Vitor and Jorge made this the most fun, flavorful, and fantastic cooking experience our group of twenty could have hoped for. The fiery shrimp, creamy soup, codfish a brás and almond tarte were supreme, but our host were the star of show!

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.
