What you will do

Stop 1
Join Jorge and Isabel in their cozy apartment, complete with a wooden porch and a charming terrace filled with over 200 potted plants. During your hands-on Porto cooking class, you'll prepare a full traditional Portuguese meal from scratch - including an appetizer, a main course, and the iconic Portuguese dessert, Pastel de Nata. Learn how to make popular starters like codfish cakes, caldo verde (kale soup), or roasted chorizo. For the main course, you might cook roasted pork knuckle, seafood rice, a classic codfish dish, or oven-baked octopus with olive oil and garlic. As you cook, enjoy a drink and some light snacks while Jorge and Isabel guide you step by step. Once the cooking is done, sit down together to share the delicious meal you helped prepare.
If you choose the market tour option, meet Jorge at Mercado Municipal de Matosinhos, a traditional Portuguese market just outside Porto. The market offers fresh vegetables, fruits, meats & some of the region’s best fresh fish. Explore the stalls with Jorge, meet local vendors, and shop for seasonal ingredients. After the market tour, enjoy a 20-minute drive to Jorge’s home, where you'll cook a Portuguese meal from scratch.
