Step into chef Filipe’s home kitchen in the heart of Porto for a private, hands-on Portuguese cooking class inspired by forgotten recipes and centuries of culinary history. Prepare a traditional appetizer or dessert and a main course while learning local techniques and discovering the fascinating stories behind each dish, from Portugal’s Moorish heritage and Age of Discoveries to convent kitchens and centuries-old royal recipes.
Depending on the season, you might make traditional breads, fish prepared using historic preservation techniques, or pão de ló de Ovar, a rich convent-style sponge cake. After cooking, sit down with Filipe and his family to enjoy your creations alongside additional Portuguese dishes and thoughtfully selected wine pairings, which may include a Port cocktail, Alvarinho and Douro wine. Leave with new cooking skills, authentic recipes and a deeper understanding of Portuguese food, history and culture.
Filipe can accommodate lactose-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan diets with advance notice. Please share any dietary restrictions at the time of booking so he can adapt the menu accordingly.
