In-Home Cooking Classes - Lisbon, Portugal

"What better way to learn about a country than through its food and flavours,
choosing vegetables at the markets, sharing stories over a bubbling pot."

Discover the secrets of Portuguese food, under the guidance of your friendly Portuguese neighbor . . .

* Start with a morning visit to Lisbon's bustling Mercado da Ribeira for the day's freshest offerings of fish, meat and fruit. Learn about what you are purchasing, and why.

* Head for the local gourmet market to select your wines, cheeses, breads and desserts.

* Later that afternoon, work with your neighbor/tutor/chef to prepare your chosen menu.

* Finally, enjoy the fruits of your labors!
