Authentic Portuguese Cooking Class and Dinner in a Lisbon Home

Zé was a fabulous host and teacher. We not only ate delicious food and drank good wine, we learned about Portugal’s cultural cuisines, etiquette, food history and more. The cooking class was in his private home, so it was truly special.

My friends and I had a wonderful evening with Ze. Ze shared his love for cooking for friends and enjoying the Portugal experience. We learned cooking techniques through conversations and hands on cooking. It was a lovely experience.

The evening comes alive as you enter an inviting home. Ze welcomes you and puts you at ease as you start your culinary journey. As you settle in over wine, you learn about Portuguese history and how the food is related to it. After the welcome tapas, you will don an apron and enter the kitchen to whip up bespoke morsels and continue the story of this enchanted country. During this evening you will learn various culinary tips and techniques while enjoying delicious food and conversation. Ze is a master of hospitality and is the perfect host for this class. If your in Lisbon and looking for the perfect evening, choose this transformative offering!

We had a great time at this cozy home cooking class. The appetizers were out of this world and the food that we cooked was well selected and delicious. We topped off the evening with four great desserts. The first one we ate and the next three we drank. Great time!

Ze was amazing. A gracious host who loved passing on his love of his country’s food, wine and culture to us. We had people of different skill levels and some were reserved but he got us all involved. We not only learned how to make the dishes but the reason why they are so loved by the Portuguese and how they came to be. The wines he passed were great and we learned why he chose them and where they came from. Being in a house we felt more a part of the community. We could have stayed there all night but unfortunately we did have to be out early the next day.

IF THERE IS ONE THING YOU DO IN LISBON THIS IS IT!

A friend recommended this cooking class with Ze, telling us it was her favorite night in Lisbon and we were not disappointed! The food was amazing and it was so cool to connect with someone from Portugal and learn so much about his country’s culture, history and just everyday life for the Portuguese.

We were 3 couples and we scheduled a private traditional Portuguese cooking class. Chef Ana was fantastic and the food we prepared was delicious. We made pasteis de nata for dessert and they were excellent. All alcohol drinks are included and a link to the recipes is provided. A great activity and super fun. The studio was set up well so each of us had a cooking station with some of the prep already completed. Highly recommend!

This was an amazing experience with a wonderful authentic Portuguese host in his cozy, authentic home. The food from 1st course to last was fabulous and plentiful. This was well worth every euro. It will be a long evening with plenty of wine. We highly recommend it!

Ze was a very gracious host inviting us into his home and letting experience a true Portuguese meal.

The meal was delicious and plentiful and our wine glasses were always full.

The total experience was memorable! Chef Jose was very knowledgeable about Portuguese history, culture and traditions. The food we prepared was not only delicious but representative of the country and he immersed us in hands-on experience that was totally fun! The wine flowed freely and we enjoyed the company of other participants. We will forever treasure the memories of this night!
