Porto Hands On Cooking Class-3 Course-wine Included-trained Chef

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Tania and Tomas! They were the most wonderful, welcoming, and hospitable hosts, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Their warmth, passion for Portuguese cuisine, and genuine love for sharing their culture made this experience truly special and authentic. We prepared incredible traditional dishes, including a delicious cod cake empanada with Portuguese sausage, followed by a heavenly Portuguese French toast dessert topped with a port wine reduction. Every bite was amazing! What made this experience so memorable was not just the food, but the hospitality, stories, and personal touches that Tania and Tomas brought to the class. It felt less like a cooking lesson and more like spending time with friends while discovering the true flavors and traditions of Portugal.

Amazing cooking experience with Tania and Tomas. I would highly recommend this this experience. 10/10 recommend.

This was an excellent cooking class and was fun and entertaining. I learned new techniques and true Portuguese cooking methods and menus. The hosts were very welcoming and knowledgeable in teaching their cooking methods.

Tania and Tomas were wonderful hosts and instructors in Portuguese cuisine and wines. The food we prepared was delicious and easy enough for a novice! It was a delightful way to spend a few hours. I highly recommend this experience.

Tania, the chef was outstanding! We always search out cooking classes when we travel and this experience did not disappoint. The steps were easy to follow and the food came out great and was delicious. Tomas, Tania's husband was also a great source of knowledge about the wines that accompanied the dishes. A not to be missed experience in Porto!

Our chefs were a husband and wife team. who were wonderful hosts and extremely knowledgeable about Portuguese cuisine. Tanya is a highly trained chef. Each course was delicious and paired with great wines.

To bring your appetite. You will be delighted with the experience. Tania is a fabulous instructor and Tomas know everything about Portuguese wine and Port.

This was an unforgettable experience. There is nothing like learning from locals, specially trained local to really get a true taste of the culture in a country. Over all this was the highlight of our trip. The combined experience between the chef Tania and the wine knowledge of Tomas, and the small.class setting really allowed you to gain an appreciation for the food and culture. Would recommend to anyone interested! A must!

WOW, what a fantastic and intimate cooking experience! Everything from the cooking tips to the wine tips was enjoyable. We learned so much from Chef Tanya and Tomos. They were the perfect pair who created an experience that will live on as we bring the recipes back to Canada with us.

Thomas was wonderful. He was very patient. Gave very easy instructions. The food was delicious. We would highly recommend! Would definitely come back ❤️

This was such an incredible experience ! Not only did we get to make amazing dishes and have paired wine with each course - but our instructor, Tomas was so knowledgeable about each item and the history of where these dishes and wine came from.

Wonderful cooking class experience with Tomás! Learned so much about unique Portugal cuisine, wine and more. The cooking class space was bright, cozy and charming. Tomás was very knowledgeable about the dishes and the town of Porto. Highly recommend this experience!

Tomas was so kind and gave us an unforgettable evening, great food and wine paring in a great location.

Really attentive guide. Had alot of fun!

My friend and I took this class with little knowledge about Portuguese cuisine. The food was incredible and we had two excellent instructors. I highly recommend this class to anyone at any level of experience!

I booked this experience through Google when another provider was booked out. Originally this was going to be 5 participants but when the other 4 all cancelled they still provided me with a one on one class. It was great to hear Tania’s chef tricks and tips (such as using baking paper to reduce sauces) and the local dishes were fabulous. I even managed to recreate in Australia using local ingredients.

My husband and I booked this cooking class while on our honeymoon in Porto. Tania and Tomas were incredible! The kitchen was very intimate and made for a more personable experience. Tania is an excellent chef who gave information and history about each dish we made in class. Tomas is a specialist in wine and gave us interesting facts about each wine and cocktail. 10/10 would recommend. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Thank you Tania and Tomas!

Tomas and Tania are wonderful hosts and helped us prepare an amazing meal with our family! We had such a great time!!

Speaking of first impression, we were immediately blown away by the studio interior the moment we entered the door. The natural lights were perfectly casted through the long window panels overlooking this beautiful, bright yellow-painted facade of the building across the street. Straight out of a painting! The studio was very cozy of space and created this ambience of intimacy that made us feel like home. Tania and Tomas were so welcoming and inviting to us as they patiently explained the historical contexts and fun facts behind each drink and dish served. We'd also learned a great deal of cooking techniques. It was an experience so culturally immersive that we were so glad that we had. Would highly recommend anyone who's looking to experience Portuguese dishes with cultural contexts.

Lovely experience! The hosts were wonderful, expert instructors with the complete package of patience, expertise, enthusiasm and warmth. The cooking goes smoothly and seems easy due to their seemingly hands off approach but timely injections of guidance. Highly recommended, great experience!

Such a wonderful experience with Tomas, Barbara, and Tania. We organised this for my friend's hen do, who absolutely loves cooking and always wants to learn more and try cooking different things. Communication was great leading up to the booking and they looked after us so well during the experience. I would 100% recommend to friends and family.

Fabulous experience cooking true Portuguese dishes that we so enjoyed learning to create! Tania and Tomas are true professionals! This was our first ever cooking class and because of our special time and what we learned, we will do this again! Thank you so much Tania and Tomas!

A wonderful personal experience learning techniques we can take home and had a blast the entire time. Would absolutely recommend a must do in Porto!!

My two sisters and myself had so much fun with chef Tania and her sommelier husband Tomas. Chef Tania showed us how to make some traditional Portuguese dishes that were delicious. Tomas served us some very good wines that went well with the dishes we cooked. It was in a small intimate setting so we got some one on one instructions.

We had such a great experience!! It was truly one of the major highlights of our trip. A perfect combination of history and culture through cuisine! Tomas and Tania are a dynamic duo, and bring such a perfect balance to the experience. They are genuinely so kind and hospitable, and presented information about food, wine, and culture in a way that was captivating and memorable. Would definitely recommend and would love to come again the next time we visit Porto!

We had so much fun with Chef Tania and her husband / sommelier Tomas! We learned about food, wine, and culture; we prepared and enjoyed our delicious Portugal dishes; and we had a lot of fun. Would highly recommend!"

Loved this activity! Something different- which was a nice break from our typical tours. We enjoyed the meal and conversation with other participants. Thanks so much!

We enjoyed a wonderful evening - the market tour set the scene. The food, cooking, wine and company was amazing

This cooking class was wonderful with Tania and Tomas. We learned a lot about the history of the dishes we were making, and got to hear their personal relationship with the recipes as well. The focus was on learning easy cooking skills that translate to at home cooking, while also getting to make and taste traditional Porto dishes. The food was fantastic, and the company of Tania and Tomas was so much fun. Would highly recommend.

We had an excellent time with Portugal at the Table, super personal experience with wonderful teaching!

We had the best time. Tania and Toms create an amazing experience. We prepared three authentic Portuguese dishes with wine pairings. Tania is a classically trained chef and Toms assisted as sous chef and the one who presented and spoke about all the wines. We learned simple tips that can be applied to every day cooking and an amazing use for parchment paper. Tania and Toms graciously made wonderful accommodations for my friend who is gluten free. A great learning expensive! It was delightful meeting Tania and Toms, along with the other people in the class, a delightful apron to take home and a spectacular meal. The very best experience!! Thank you!!

We had a great time with Tomas, as our guide through Bolhao market learning about different wines and appetizers. Then we went to the cooking class where Tania welcomed us into her kitchen teaching us how to prepare traditional Portuguese dishes. Our favorite which was saved to the end was the French Toast type dessert. You will be mad at yourself if you don't book this class. Tania and Tomas are warm, wonderful hosts, professional and so welcoming! Thanks for doing the dishes, Tomas!

Recently, while in Porto, Portugal, we took this cooking class with Chef Tania, with her spouse Tomas assisting, and wow… what an experience from start to finish. The day began with a tour of Mercado do Bolhão with Tomas, where we met another couple participating in the class. We shared wine, tried sardines for the first time, and learned more about the market and Portuguese food culture. It was the perfect way to start the experience. After the market tour, we walked over to the apartment for the cooking class, and let me tell you — everything was flawless. We’ve had the privilege of taking cooking classes in private locations in Paris, Budapest, Italy, and India, and out of all of them, the attention to detail and overall execution of this class was by far the best. Chef Tania was incredibly hands-on, welcoming, and engaging throughout the entire experience. She encouraged questions, made everyone feel completely at ease, and created such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Having recently moved to Lisbon a few months ago, I especially loved being able to ask a real Portuguese chef questions about cooking and ingredients, and she was so generous with her knowledge. We learned so much, laughed a ton, ate incredibly well, and left genuinely excited to recreate the dishes at home. I truly cannot recommend this class enough. It was one of the highlights of our time in Porto.

What a wonderful experience! As a novice, I learned a great deal, from our hosts and our meals were very good! Tomas and Tonia were delightful hosts and made the evening special, it felt like we were at a dinner party with old friends. We highly recommend this experience, especially if you want good food, good drink, and good companionship!

Wonderful experience! Great chefs and great food....come hungry! Tanya and Tomas are outstanding hosts and made us feel at home. The dishes we made were easy and delicious, along with perfect wine pairings. Hands on class which is always more fun! Very enjoyable evening and meal and would highly recommend!

Chef Tawny and partner Tomas were a great team. I enjoyed the hands-on learning along with 3 courses and 3 wines, a memorable experience for my Porto trip :)

We had a wonderful time with Tomas and Tanya and the food was delicious. We made two portuguese dishes and a dessert. 10/10 experience would recommend it to anyone especially foodies!! they also had the wine and cocktails flowing all night

Great fun, great teacher, lovely environment.

Family owned. They were great, informative and so friendly. Learned so much and had the best time. Started with delicious cocktails. Highly recommend.

Such a wonderful experience! Our chef was a fantastic teacher, and I’m excited to try these recipes again at home!

You will learn lots of helpful cooking tips Hospitable, accommodating, knowledgeable hosts (chef Tanya, Thomas, and Barbara) Arrive hungry

This was a highlight of our recent 11 day trip to Portugal and we did a lot! The class was just perfection, from the communication prior to arrival with Tomas meeting us outside and escorting us to the location to cooking taught by Chef Tania (a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef!). It was warm, personal and educational. The space, wines, food and cooking lesson was excellent and plan to put Chef Tania and Tomas on your trip itinerary, you will be so happy you did!!

Tania and Tomas gave us an amazing experience. The food was incredible and we learned several new tips. I would recommend to anybody with an interest in food. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed with plenty of time for questions and eating the food we had made.

Tania and Tomas are very special and create a truly intimate and personal atmosphere combined with learning from a Cordon Bleu chef! You will not be disappointed!

Tania and Tomás gave us a beautiful cooking experience with traditional Portuguese ingredients and lots of tips! Wonderful and fun hosts! Highly recommend!

I travel a lot with my 2 adult children age 22 and 26. We love cooking classes! This class was one of the best ones we ever took. Led by a professional chef, sweet, kind and patient, you learn about classic Portuguese dishes, cook variety of dishes yourself, taste everything you make, they were able to accommodate my younger son vegetarian meal preferences, and overall we had a fantastic experience! Highly recommend!

I had such a great time at this cooking class! The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and the instructor made everything easy to follow, even for beginners. We got hands-on experience preparing several dishes, and everything turned out absolutely delicious. What I really appreciated was how engaging and friendly the whole experience was—it felt more like cooking with friends than a formal class. I also learned some useful techniques and tips that I’ll definitely use again at home. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, interactive, and tasty experience!

This was a true hands-on cooking experience with wine pairings that my two daughters and I did on a birthday trip for me. The location was a bit tricky to find but a member of the team came and helped us get to the space where the event took place. A lovely building with lots of natural light. The food we prepared was delicious and the wine options were perfect as well. The instructor and her staff made everyone feel welcome and all of them were so friendly, patient and helpful. We had such a wonderful time!
