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.

We had the nicest evening with our very welcoming hostess Helena. We started with engaging conversation over a variety of appetizers including cheese, olives, breads, and ham.. along with a very nice white port! Dinner focused on the best arroz de marisco either of us had ever had.. accompanied by a nice Vinho Verde! A very unique experience.. highly recommended!.

Love the experience. Helena was a great host and food was delish.

We felt so welcomed by Helena and thoroughly enjoyed the show experience of cooking a traditional meal with her in her home! Worth every minute!

Enjoyed the time of learning something new and chatting while enjoying the yummy food:)

was the 1st time we have experienced this type of cooking leasson and the proximity and be in the house of a Poutuense it was amazing. I high recommend it.

Patricia and her husband were so warm, welcoming, and authentic. We had a group of us that ended up feeling like friends at the end of the afternoon. Really enjoyed Patricia's guidance on baking the Nata's and enjoyed the nice meal. 10/10 will be recommending to our friends.

Patricia and husband are amazing hosts. Light, crispy, airy, with a slight citrus note are Patricia Pasties de nata. Her pasties is a taste of home, each bite reminiscent of childhood. Where one pasties de nata is not enough. A true experience that will last a lifetime. Her light lunch spread and delicious homemade Port will be hard to beat.

This was just what I needed on my trip: A friendly welcome in Patricia’s home where her and her family were ready to eat dinner and share a night together. It felt truly like home! And the Pasteis De Nata recipe was amazing! Thanks to these wonderful people for a night at home away from home!

We had such a lovely evening spent having a home cooked dinner with Helena. She was full of knowledge on the city, super warm & welcoming, and her cooking is wonderful. Her home is lovely and she was such a kind lady that made our family feel so welcomed. This was a great local experience.
