Cooking Class: Authentic Portuguese Cuisine in Porto
Immerse yourself in Portuguese culture during this private cooking class led by Chef Heitor.
You'll learn how to use local ingredients to cook up a multi-course meal on a quaint farm and vineyard. The meal begins with your choice of a fish course. Use a cornbread crust to make codfish with broa or layer cod with onions and mashed potatoes to make zé do pipo. Then, move to the meat course, where you have your choice between savory roasted lamb, tender oven-baked chicken or rich duck with rice. Venture back to the sea with the shellfish course and learn how to prepare clams and lobster properly. Choose one dessert to end the meal on a decadent note, such as a zesty orange roll cake or a creamy Portuguese crème brûlée. Then, indulge in the joy and flavors of Portuguese cuisine.
