The Chefs Company

Great cooking class. Super friendly chefs and very knowledgeable. I will definitely recommend. Food was very delicious.

What a fun and delicious way to spend an evening! There were 10 people in our class and Ana and Carina led us through preparing a fabulous traditional Portuguese dinner. After a relaxing time of appetizers and wine and meeting your fellow chefs, we were each assigned a task for preparing a dish. If you have any interest at all in cooking, this is a definite experience for your Lisbon stay!

We did the traditional Portuguese Cooking class on a Friday with Carina and Ana. It was a brilliant, tasty and intimate way to dive into the flavours of Portugal. The green wine, local cheeses, meats and seafood were delicious. As was the Moscatel at the end. It felt like cooking with a big family! Would definitely recommend for those who enjoy cooking, meeting new people and want to do something different.

It was an amazing experience. The cooking class in Lisbon was not only great for everything we learned, but also for the very close and fun atmosphere that was created. It’s one of those really worthwhile plans: you cook, you try delicious things and you also have the opportunity to meet new people and share unique moments. It’s definitely a highly recommended activity if you have time and want to live something different.

Anna was great with my kids, agree 7 and 10 who help us out cooking at home. The fresh ingredients from her parent's farm made it feel like we were part of if the family. The food was delicious that we prepared and she keeps the banter going so that we all (8 total people) felt like old friends.

The two charming chef instructors were organized, highly skilled and excellent teachers. The kitchen was well equipped and pristine. The table was beautifully appointed with authentic, lovely, colourful Portuguese ceramics. The quality of the food (vegetables, fish, seafood, wine, etc. ) was of the highest grade. The dishes selected were healthy yet incredibly delicious. My husband and I truly enjoyed every well planned moment. It was a memorable experience that was a high light of our 6 weeks Portugal vacation. We strongly recommend this class.

This was a highlight of our time in Lisbon! With a small group, you get to cook authentic and homemade Portuguese meals with fresh ingredients. Ana and Carina are so friendly and kind - they’re truly the best!

Amazing vibes, fabulous food, and amazing women! Ana and Carina create such a warm atmosphere and showcase Portuguese food with authenticity and passion. The flavors are simple but robust, and come straight from each ingredient. Their love for food and people is genuine, and they are so wonderful with kids. Our family truly had an unforgettable experience.

Carina and Ana were amazing teachers! I went with my girlfriends and we loved the class. You can tell they have such a fun relationship and together they were super helpful in making a meal and dessert. Would definitely recommend, thank you girls!

First the chefs were engaging and personable.Secondly they made cutting and slicing vegetables fun. Lots of smiles and laughs. And I am not a cook. They went on to serve us a glass of wine while we cooked under their direction. Never hurts to drink a glass of wine while learning. Gave us the history of the dishes we were preparing, guiding us all the way. The end result was delicious. We all sat congratulating ourselves on a job well done. I would highly recommend the chefs and their school.

Ana and Carina are not only great hosts, they are super nice and very well prepared so you can make a delicious Portuguese diner in a very good atmosphere. They know how to make you feel like a real chef and all ingredients are super fresh. We loved it!

Learning to cook traditional Portuguese recipes with Ana and Carina was a highlight of our trip. Not only did they create a beautiful menu that accommodated our food restrictions, but they managed to engage my husband and I along with our teenage son. We truly enjoyed laughing, getting to know them, and learning about food culture in Portugal. What a delicious meal and a fantastic experience! Obrigada Carina and Ana!

I can highly recommend these two wonderful ladies and their cooking class. The environment they have created was so wonderful, friendly, fun and educational. We really felt their love for food, family and meeting new people. In total we created 6 dishes and they prepared upfront an aperitif. The kitchen had enough space for our group and it was easy to interact with the group. I can highly recommend visiting them. They have so much knowledge and great tips in case you need advice of where to go in Lisbon and or the south of Portugal.

Carina and Ana are well organized and prepared. The timing of all of our dishes was perfect and it felt like cooking with family even though most of us had only just met. They made the whole experience felt easy, relaxed, and fun. I would definitely do this again.

Who love food and good company! My husband and I had such lovely evening with Ana and carina . The food we prepared was outstanding and used only simple fresh ingredients ! They taught us the cultural impact and origins of many of the ingredients which only added to the experience and illuminated just how wonderful Portuguese cuisine can be! I have always been intimidated by cooking and walked away from this evening feeling confident and excited to try this on my own!

I’m not even sure how to put into words how incredible Carina & Ana’s cooking class was. They were super charismatic and funny, in addition to being truly inspirational and passionate. This was translated with their effort, intricacy and leadership in both the teachings and dishes. They are both such a great representation of their country. They arrive HOURS before the class starts just to prep all of the ingredients, on top of all of the thought that goes into planning the menu and sourcing the ingredients - all with consideration to what’s local and what tells a story. They are very accommodating to food sensitivities and allergies to make sure everybody had a good experience. The flow of the class was so organic and made us immediately feel like one big happy family despite moments prior being strangers. The food was delicious, and things that I will definitely recreate at home. They should be very proud of what they have created, as we are grateful for the opportunity and for sharing their culture with us. If I could give this more stars, I would.

The cooking course was simply wonderful! We cooked great dishes that we will try out straight away at home. The two chefs were also very friendly. They taught us a lot, not only about preparing the food, but also about the culture and life in Portugal. They also gave us a few recommendations of places in Portugal that we should definitely visit. I can warmly recommend the cooking course to anyone who wants to cook, eat and laugh in authentic Portuguese.

what an incredible experience and an amazing time we had a must do while visiting Lisbon. This is a truly unique one on one experience with a visit to a local market and cheese tasting at a local cheese and wine shop not to mention an incredible meal and cooking experience

The whole experience was memorable, the food, Carina was great! Enjoying the experience with new people!

Their food was fantastic, they told us the story behind their cooking and recipes. The octopus was the best I have ever had. My young girls loved them. When we come back to Portugal we will be sure to book them again!
