What to expect

Would you like to cook traditional Portuguese dishes at a local's home and discover the stories behind them?

In this private experience, we don’t just prepare authentic recipes we slow down and travel through centuries of food culture, exploring how Portugal’s Mediterranean roots and global connections shaped everyday home cooking.

This is not a rushed cooking class. It’s a warm, welcoming Lisbon home cooking experience, designed for all ages, where food, stories, and shared moments come together naturally.

Together, we prepare three classic Portuguese home-cooking dishes:

A starter, inspired by everyday Portuguese family tables

A main course, rooted in traditional techniques and regional flavors

A dessert, reflecting Portugal’s love for simple, comforting sweets

The menu changes with the seasons and local market availability, just as it does in Portuguese homes.

Traditional Portuguese cooking techniques

The stories behind everyday dishes

Portugal’s Mediterranean food culture

The joy of slow cooking, sharing, and eating together

Weather permitting, we finish by dining together in a flower-filled garden, surrounded by a real Portuguese home atmosphere.
