Great cooking class, Vincent is the best guide! - We really enjoyed the Food Tour with Your Brazil in Salvador de Bahia. We visited two markets and we had a great cooking class with Angelica, an amazing woman from Bahia who taught us how to prepare a perfect moqueca. Everything was perfect and our guide Vincent made our day, we had a 5-star experience with him. Very knowledgeable, very helpful, very enjoyable and he perfectly speaks 7 languages. We really loved our time with him, i recommend to ask for his service 👍

Delicious food with a wonderful chef - Thanks to the lovely Angelique for taking us into her house and showing us how to prepare this delicious Bahian fish stew (moqueca). She is already well known for her skills, having appeared on television with a well known French celebrity chef who visited her house.
Her personality is fantastic, just like her cooking.
All ingredients are completely fresh.
You WILL have a great time
The trip also included a visit to the Salvador food market with Our guide Vincent who is very knowledgeable and speaks many languages. He can translate if necessary with Angelique. Vincent gave us a class in making caipirinhas which were delicious
This trip excursion is quite expensive and lasts just 4 hours, but we really enjoyed it

Avoid! - I would not recommend this. The guide couldn't stop telling sexual anecdotes along with innuendos on the side, as though he was trying to get a response or shock us. We were traveling with 2 children so this was uncomfortable; even without them it would have been perverse. The host family was kind, warm and welcoming, a few shared information about the relationship between cooking and culture but the food was awful. Would not make any of it again. Save your time and money!
