Cooking with a Portuguese Chef in Lisbon

Food in Portugal is a cause for celebration. During the warmer months, the breeze is seasoned with an oceanic smokiness that lures crowds to local joints serving up grilled sardines atop a bit of bread. There’s wine, sangria and bowls of Caldo Verde (kale soup), too. “Há Caracóis” (We have snails) signs entice passersby to stop, linger and lounge at esplanades, slurping the tasty slugs out of their shells. Crisp weather ushers in nights of bonfires and roasted chestnuts washed down with flavorful wines, bean soups and hearty smoked sausage stews, stuffed breads and brick oven roasts. There are museums dedicated solely to food—cheese, bread, olive oil, cherries, beer, wine and so on. It’s indeed a food lover’s paradise! What’s the downfall? Withdrawal—when you leave.

Today, you will be rubbing elbows with one of the best Portuguese chefs in Lisbon for an exquisite, private cooking class in the chef’s home. This one-on-one time with the chef will allow you to meet their family, ask as questions and learn how to make three Portuguese dishes.

We can assure you that this is a very complete, fun and tasty experience that you will not forget. The class can be as hands-on as you want it to be or feel comfortable with and you will also get the printed recipes to try and replicate these dishes at home.

Highlights:

• Exclusive cooking class with a Portuguese Chef 
• Recipe cards for 3 traditional Portuguese recipes
• Sit down lunch with wine in the Chef’s home
