Pastel de Nata Baking Class – Portugal's Famous Custard Tart - Amazing class! The instructors were fantastic, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I can't believe how delicious our tarts were. We also had the Port Wine pairing, and it was great!

Great lesson with a yummy result!!😋 - My friend and I very much enjoyed our Pastel de Nata cooking class Our instructor, Joanna, and her assistant were friendly and welcoming. We learned the technique for puff pastry, a skill we will use again. We learned how to prepare the filling, which was very delicious!! While we waited for them to bake we enjoyed chatting with the other students. This class was held in a spotlessly clean kitchen.

Brilliant afternoon with great tuition and superb recipe in a beautiful kitchen. Highly recommended. - We came with friends and had a brilliant afternoon. The kitchen is amazing and Joana was very engaging and entertaining. The pastel de natas were absolutely delicious and we had great fun making them. Even though a few of them escaped their pastry cases they still tasted delicious! It was bought as a birthday present for my friend and Joana put a candle into one for us to celebrate I’d recommend this to everyone. Definitely a very memorable experience in beautiful Lagos. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to everyone.

Delicious and Fun Baking Experience - Fantastic experience! Jo was a wonderful instructor and her assistant Lara was also so helpful. They created an awesome, fun atmosphere, especially for us baking novices. The new location is beautiful! Would highly recommend. The oven had a slight issue on the day of our class; even then, the pastries were DELICIOUS!

Highlight of our trip! - The Kitchen (Jo and team) provided a wonderful experience for my girlfriend and I. We made the delicious Pastel de nada pastries and had so much fun doing so. Jo was so informative, lively, and made sure our experience was a 20/10. This has been the highlight of our trip. I could not recommend booking with The Kitchen more and when we return to Lagos, we will definitely be taking another class with Jo. Thank you for making our visit so special!! We had a blast.

Fun, enjoyable way to learn how to bake a favourite! - Excellent fun 2hrs, learning how to cook one of my favourite sweet treats! Went with my wife and my mum, who is in her 80s, and the experience was accessible and fun for all of us. Joana makes the whole thing fun (even through the most fiddly steps) and the glass of port wine at the end was a very welcome addition:-)
