Fabulous class! - We had a fabulous time learning to cook pork and seafood cataplana. The food was delicious, but, best of all, Joana and her mom, Corrine, made it an evening to remember. It was like being at a house party with a great friend who happens to be an amazing cook! The food, the wine and the general ambiance were absolutely super. Do yourself a favor…take a class at The Kitchen in Lagos!

Fabulous cooking class in Lagos - We had a fabulous time cooking with Joana and her mom. We learned so much about Portuguese foods and wines. The pork and seafood cataplana was amazing and we are looking forward to recreating it at home. Best of all was the spirit and enthusiasm of the evening - and that’s because of Joana. She made the class so much fun. I would love to do another with her at some point and I strongly recommend her cooking class. Absolutely great!

The best local experience in Lagos - I love this place! I took a cod cooking class and it was a special evening - a very authentic and genuine Portuguese experience with one of the best chefs in Lagos and the locals. I learned how to prepare 3 different local cod dishes and I can't wait to make them myself at home because they were delicious. I met wonderful people, learned many interesting facts about Lagos and cod, and laughed to tears. I will definitely go back there.
