Here’s an overview of your activity

Hi, I am Helena and I love to cook, so it will be a pleasure to show you one of the best traditional dishes in Porto: the typical 'francesinha'!

The 'francesinha' is a dish invented in Porto, and very much loved by the locals. It is such an essential dish that every household has its own recipe of Francesinha sauce. I am more than happy to share my secret with you!

Get to know more about my culture through its food on this hands-on experience that will bring out the chef in you. Enjoy your francesinha with some local snack, Porto wine and dessert! And if you have any dietary needs or preferences, let me know and I'll adapt the experience for you.

Join me and let's cook a typical "Francesinha" together!
