This experience with Jorge and Isabel and Miguel, (their bright, animated, charming son) was nothing short of dreamy! It will be indelibly marked in our minds forever. The setting, the family, the gentle way of teaching us, the laughter and the food, was so beautiful. From the markets to table, the produce and cooking experience was exceptional, making - Caldo Verde, Pica-Pau, pork cheeks with potatoes and oyster mushrooms, and of course - the best Pastel de Natas we’ve had in Portugal!! The conversation was just like old family friends, and the cooking, wine and ambiance was second to none. Will be recommending this experience to everyone!

Maria was an incredible host and great teacher. She was so prepared and organized. Her years of being a professional chef in many settings was evident. The food was incredible, the conversation lovely, and the fact that we had an authentic Portuguese experience in her home, was invaluable. This is truly a highlight of our month long vacation. We only wish we could have spent more time with Maria. Obrigada Maria!
