Portuguese Cooking Class with a Local Chef

For a delicious & fun evening, try Cook & Corks. It’s a gourmet Portuguese cooking class complete with hors d’oeuvres, a fabulous dinner, beyond-memorable dessert and bottomless beverages. We were lucky to have Pedro Marques as our chef. He was as entertaining as he is talented, guiding us to prepare our 4 course meal. We intentionally planned it for our first night to get helpful tips and insights about Lisbon restaurants and sights. Highly recommend this for couples, friends and/or families with teenagers. We did a private cooking class 630-930pm but I’m sure the group classes are excellent too.

Luis and Inga created a perfect evening for us, with high attention, love for details and patience for all the questions we had. It starts with an aperitif with wine, olives, bred and oil and some other snacks. Chef Inga is an icon of Portugals warmth and we loved her way aspiring for the real Portuguese kitchen.

Luis and Tomas created a memorable experience of Lisbon starting with a visit to a market to acquire the freshest of ingredients, followed by a winery tour and tasting and culminating in a hands on cooking session creating a sumptuous feast of local dishes accompanied by Portuguese wines. The atmosphere at Cook & Corks is friendly and inviting, not at all stuffy nor formal. We were encouraged to try all aspects of the meal preparation, and our modest efforts were well rewarded. It was history, geography and epicurean delight all rolled into one tour! For a unique travel experience I would highly recommend Cook & Corks.
