A word about the experience
Meet me at Mercado de Arroios, a typical Lisbon marketplace. We'll do the shopping together. The freshest fish, the most amazing and colorful vegetables, the tastiest Portuguese bread and an insanely variety of cheeses and olives we'll be waiting for us.
Next, we'll walk to my place, passing the gorgeous Fonte Luminosa, at Alameda, one of the most iconic fountains in Lisbon, where pastéis de nata will be waiting. After the tasting... It's time to cook.
For the next couple of hours, you'll learn how to prepare several traditional Portuguese dishes. All of this in the company of an unavoidable glass of red or white wine, coming directly from our best producers.
In the end, we'll all sit at the table and have fun, while tasting all of what has just been made... Appetizers, main dish and a delicious traditional dessert. And once again, wine will be present. In the end, nothing like an expresso and an Oporto glass.
Menu
AMUSE BOUCHE
Pastéis de nata, sausage and cheese board, flavored olive oil, olives, bread
Starter
Codfish cakes with salad
One of the most delicious starters in Portuguese cuisine, and one that is essential to lead to a meal packed with aromas and flavours. The recipe of the snack is said to have been first published in Carlos Bento da Maia’s 1904 cookbook Tratado de Cozinha e Copa. One thing is certain: they are here to stay.
Main dish
Caldeirada à fragateira
Nazaré has much more to offer besides the canyon and massive waves. Besides magical places, welcoming people and magnificent legends, there is also the fabulous Caldeirada à Fragateira, a dish that could only come from a seaside town. It is made with many different kinds of fish and a unique seasoning. Your palate will be filled with an ocean of flavours.
Dessert
Portuguese-style crème brulée
It is said to come originally from late-seventeenth century France and England. Still, it became a staple of Portugal, and a must-have in celebrations – as well as other occasions. It deserves to be prominent, for it is an absolute creamy delight with an indispensable sticky burnt-sugar crust. True passion.
Coffee & Oporto wine
The Portuguese perfect way to finish your meal.
