Helena was wonderful. She was very accommodating to our food preferences. She is a warm and welcoming person and was very easy to communicate with to set up the class. It was lovely to experience the cooking class in a local home. It is an experience you will enjoy while you are there and remember for a long time after.
The four of us really enjoyed our time with Patricia and Rui. They were interesting and knowledgeable on many subjects. It was lovely to spend time in their home to see how they lived. Patricia had prepared a delicious Portuguese meal for us. She explained how her main dish was prepared so that it could be duplicated at home. We then were able to participate by preparing the dessert. The time flew by.
Patricia welcomed us into her home. We were greeted at the door by her husband and he immediately offered us a drink and charcuterie. We then began making the pastry. Patricia was patient and informative throughout the lesson process. We were served a traditional lunch. During lunch we learned about porto culture. At the end we ate our pastel de natas. They were delicious and we hope to make them at home with our family. The best part was leaving with the feeling that we are part of the family.
We had the most wonderful time learning to cook Portuguese family recipes with Vera. This is a special experience not to be missed if possible. Vera’s warmth and kindness make this experience so incredible. Her recipes are also delicious and some of the best food we ate on our visit to Porto. We had so much fun cooking, chatting, drinking wine and snacking. Our two kids loved the chance to cook and learn and it was a wonderful way to spend the day. I can’t recommend enough booking this experience or any tour with Vera. We will remember our day cooking with her forever!
