"Thank you so much, Helena. This was an incredible meal and you shared so much amazing stuff with us that will make our whole 2 weeks better. I can't thank you enough for welcoming us into your home and for cooking us that incredible meal. You are amazing. "
"Our dinner with Patricia and her husband was such a lovely diversion from all the typical touristy sightseeing we had done and one of the highlights of our trip. They were so welcoming and friendly! Dinner was delicious (I could’ve eaten the whole plate of stuffed mushrooms!) and Patricia even sent us home with several pastel de natas and some fresh bay leaves!"
"Helena was a wonderful host! From the very first chat on line to the details of dinner, giving us a true local experience.
Helena met us when our bolt driver dropped us off. She then showed us to her home. We listened to Fado music as she entertained us with a 3 course local family meal. This experience was exactly what we were looking for. She also gave us some local "dont,miss" places to see for the next few days.
After about 2.5 hours she walked us out and waited until our ride came.
Highly recommend!
Thank you again Helena for letting us be apart of life.
Jen and Steve "

"I had a great time with Helena! She is very warm, open and friendly.
I joined her experience with my early teens. We went to the local butcher shop and supermarket together and then enjoyed chatting and appetizers while cooking together. I especially loved a glass of vinho verde with requeijão de ovelha! I liked this cheese so much that I ended up buying it several times during the rest of my stay in Portugal.
For the main course, she asked me in advance what we wanted, and although it was hard to choose as they were all appealing, we decided on the bacalhau dish. It was nice to see how to prepare bacalhau, a traditional ingredient that is an essential part of Portuguese cuisine.
Also, since it was right around Easter time, she prepared Easter cookie baking for my daughter and she had fun cutting up the cookies and decorating them with chocolate.
Thank you for a lovely relaxing evening!"
"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. "
"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!. "
