Experience Cooking Classes in Porto with Withlocals

"We had a fantastic time with Patricia. The food and conversation were just amazing. She welcomed us into her home and shared stories. We learned so much! This was the best part of our entire trip to Portugal. Thank you, Patricia! "

"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!"

"After a nearly three week trip to Portugal, this was by far one of our most outstanding experiences during our remaining few days. We enjoyed having conversation with a local family as we learn the intricacies of making a popular Portuguese dessert. It was educational to learn of the experiences of a family living day- to-day in this country. This is an experience tourists do not typically receive by simply visiting historical sites, shopping, museums, and churches. It was wonderful to spend an evening in a family's home having dinner and enjoying good conversation with new friends. Thank you, Patricia and family."

"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. "
