Nice. but. It what I expected.

The class was nice, but I didn't feel it was worth the cost. Most participants, including myself and my husband, knew our way around the kitchen and had cooking experience as we have prepared food all of our adult lives. I did not feel like I learned about the "soul" of Portuguese cooking ; about what makes it unique and special. Upon starting, there was one bottle of wine for twelve of us to split until dinner. The location is a bit out of the way as well. If you are looking for an authentic- learning from/in grandma's kitchen this is not the class.

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we fully respect that every guest is entitled to their opinion, we do feel it is important to clarify a number of factual inaccuracies contained in your review. Firstly, our public cooking classes are limited to a maximum of 10 participants, not 12 as stated. Secondly, we were genuinely surprised by your comment regarding the wine. Throughout every class, wine is served continuously during both the cooking session and the meal, and we routinely open multiple bottles whenever needed. This is one of the aspects most frequently praised by our guests and simply does not reflect the experience we provide. As for the recipes, whether someone enjoys a particular dish is naturally subjective. However, suggesting that they lack authenticity or quality is something we respectfully disagree with. Our menus have been carefully developed over more than 13 years, are rooted in traditional Portuguese home cooking, and have been enjoyed by tens of thousands of guests from all over the world. It also seems that your expectations were for a very different type of experience, specifically what you describe as "learning in grandma's kitchen." While we completely understand that this may have been your personal preference, this is not how our experience is presented. Our goal is to offer an authentic, hands on Portuguese cooking class in a professional environment, while sharing the stories, traditions and techniques behind each recipe. We always welcome constructive feedback, as it helps us improve. However, we also believe it is important that reviews accurately reflect the experience that was actually offered. We would encourage future readers to consider this review alongside the thousands of reviews shared by guests who have enjoyed this same experience over the past 13 years. We remain incredibly proud of the consistency, authenticity and hospitality that have made Cooking Lisbon one of Portugal's highest rated culinary experiences.

Angela was a great host....

Angela was a great host. I enjoyed taking this class. After being on vacation for the last 8 days it was nice to get in the kitchen and cook a homemade meal. I can’t wait to go home and make this for my family.

A fun evening and a delicious meal

Renata was a great instructor and chef. She explained our cooking process and got everyone involved. We made several dishes including peri peri chicken, Bacalhau, caldo verde soup and many side dishes. Dessert was amazing as well. Our class chatted with each other while we cooked which made for a fun evening.
