Private Market Tour and Portuguese
Goan Cooking Class
Don’t take it from me – here’s what people have to say about this experience.
Fantastic Family Experience with Paula!
We recently did the Private Market Tour & Cooking Class with Paula as a family – which included my two children (ages 5 and 10). Paula was absolutely amazing. She was warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating with the kids. She made them feel involved in every step of the cooking process, from choosing ingredients at the market to stirring pots in the kitchen.
The market tour was both fun and informative; Paula gave us insights into local produce and ingredients while also sharing a bit about Portuguese traditions. Once back in her kitchen, she created a relaxed environment where everyone could take part. When my 5 year old son complained about being left out because his sister was doing a task, she was quick to involve him in another cooking task. Plus, we all I learned so much & the food was AMAZING.
This was a memorable experience for our family, and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a personal, hands-on cooking class & meal. Thank you, Paula, for making our day so special!

Fun, Friendly and Customizable Tour and Cooking Class- Would Book Again!
Our day with Paula was so fun and memorable. My husband and I thought this would be a nice addition to our honeymoon itinerary since we’d be cooking together for the rest of our lives and the day was perfect. We loved learning about her tips, techniques, and spice blends in the kitchen! We had a lovely, customized meal, but most of all enjoyed walking around Almada, visiting the shops and chatting with the locals – all of whom where friendly with our host. It was so easy to get there from Time Out Market in Lisbon- just a quick ferry ride with nice views. You’re sure to have a bom dia with Paula!
