  Review  – Had such a great time going to the market and learning to cook traditional Portugese dishes with Paula! Paula was a wonderful host – I definitely recommend this activity 😊

  The highlight of our trip to Lisbon!  – Our hostess Paula met my wife and I at the ferry at Cacilhas at 10 AM and took us on a walking tour along the river with great views of… read more Lisbon. She then lead us through a very informative tour of a local market to pick up the ingredients necessary for our cooking lesson. We arrived at her charming home at 11.

Paula engaged us in interesting conversation about her personal history and about life in Lisbon whilst patiently instructing us in the preparation of the food we would be dining on. Following Paula’s lead, we prepared Sikkema Clam Curry, Arroz de Pato (Duck Rice) and Pasteis de Nata.

Some time after 2 we sat and enjoyed our meal together. The food was the best we experienced during our stay in the Lisbon area. Paula was very generous with her time and walked us back through town to the ferry at 3:30 where we said our goodbyes.

Paula is an excellent hostess and a very clear and patient teacher. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience and highly recommend her services to anyone wishing to immerse themselves in a uniquely Portuguese experience!

  Wonderful wxperience and great food!  – My husband and I had a wonderful time with Paula.

I strongly recommend the experience, we will remember this for a very long time!
