Creating and eating excellent food. - Carina and Ana are well organized and prepared. The timing of all of our dishes was perfect and it felt like cooking with family even though most of us had only just met. They made the whole experience felt easy, relaxed, and fun. I would definitely do this again.

Great food great fun! - A must do event for people
Who love food and good company! My husband and I had such lovely evening with Ana and carina . The food we prepared was outstanding and used only simple fresh ingredients ! They taught us the cultural impact and origins of many of the ingredients which only added to the experience and illuminated just how wonderful Portuguese cuisine can be! I have always been intimidated by cooking and walked away from this evening feeling confident and excited to try this on my own!

Best Cooking class ever !!!!!’nn - Ana and Carina are amazing women and Chefs. We booked our class on the last day of our visit and we didn’t realize it was holy Friday. They were kind enough not to cancel on us. They were very patient and helped each one of us with what we had to cook. the food was amazing. The wine was amazing. I highly recommend taking this class and I would so do it again when I go back to Portugal.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I’m not even sure how to put into words how incredible Carina & Ana’s cooking class was. They were super charismatic and funny, in addition to being truly inspirational and passionate. This was translated with their effort, intricacy and leadership in both the teachings and dishes. They are both such a great representation of their country. They arrive HOURS before the class starts just to prep all of the ingredients, on top of all of the thought that goes into planning the menu and sourcing the ingredients - all with consideration to what’s local and what tells a story. They are very accommodating to food sensitivities and allergies to make sure everybody had a good experience. The flow of the class was so organic and made us immediately feel like one big happy family despite moments prior being strangers. The food was delicious, and things that I will definitely recreate at home. They should be very proud of what they have created, as we are grateful for the opportunity and for sharing their culture with us 🫶 If I could give this more stars, I would.

Wonderful experience with two lovely ladies, chefs and teachers. - We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ana and Carina. We were welcomed cordially with a glass of local Verde (Green) wine which accompanied a tasty cheese, meats and fruits board…delicious. Then the cooking began! I prepared the starter and entree while Pam made a delectable dessert. We enjoyed the dishes we prepared (with the help of Ana and Carina) and impressed ourselves! We incorporated fresh ingredients from Ana’s family’s farm which help make the meal special. Afterwards we watched a recording of the National Morning show which they did that day teaching children how to actually prepare traditional dishes. We left with two new friends and a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend! My only suggestion is some better signage for ease of finding their studio.

MAGICAL Cultural Experience — Best cooking class we’ve ever done! - I cannot overstate what a truly exceptional experience this was with my Mom and sisters. The chefs company cooking class was THE highlight of our trip in Portugal (and that’s saying a lot, given how much we loved our time in Lisbon). Carina & Ana made it a cultural experience that was approachable, delicious and truly SO MUCH FUN. With my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION — book the cooking class. It’s magic

An experience you must try - First - Cannot say enough about how amazing Ana and Carina were. They really want you to understand the essence of the dishes you are preparing. The class seemed more like preparing a family meal than a formal cooking class and you are guided through the preparation with calm and confidence by very experienced professionals who are also wonderful people. We ended the class with bellies full and a wealth of information on the local dishes. Highly recommend it.

Best birthday dinner ever! - It was such a wonderful experience! Ana and Carina are amazing hostesses with such charisma and hospitality. We felt loved from the beginning. Not only did we learn new cooking techniques and experience new flavor profiles, it was as though we were visiting our long-lost cousins. If you are looking for a hands-on cooking class where you will learn new techniques and experience an amazing meal in the process, this class is for you!

A fun experience! - We recently attended a fantastic Portuguese cooking workshop led by Carina and Ana, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, they welcomed us with warm smiles and made us feel right at home. Their passion for traditional Portuguese cuisine was evident in every detail, from the carefully selected recipes to their patient and enthusiastic guidance.
We learned to prepare delicious, authentic dishes, using fresh ingredients. Carina and Ana explained everything clearly, offering helpful tips and ensuring that we felt comfortable in the kitchen.
The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and at the end of the workshop, we sat down together to enjoy the meal we had prepared. It truly felt like a taste of Portugal! And the vino verde made it complete😁
I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who loves cooking and wants to experience real Portuguese flavors. Obrigado, Carina and Ana!
