Fantastic Pastel de Nata workshop!! - Absolutely brilliant Pastel de Nata workshop in Porto yesterday - enjoyed by all the family (with wife and two teenage daughters). Location is great just over the main bridge in Gaia a short walk from the city centre, really nice modern purpose built kitchen facility - and best of all two lovely and knowledgeable hosts/instructors - Jose and the lead instructor originally from Brazil (sorry I’m not 100% on her name) who was great. She said it was the first time leading the demonstration but you wouldn’t have known it as she was really fantastic, did a great job of involving everyone, good sense humour and lots of good tips during the baking process. A really memorable experience that we won’t forget!!!!

Jose made the whole... - Jose made the whole experience most enjoyable. It was especially grand to be doing the class with my daughter. We are both "Foodies" who love to cook and experience new styles of cooking from many different cultures.

Even my husband (the griller) loved it! - Joe was terrific! We had a group of 6, the room was spotless and inviting. The cooking table allowed everyone to chat, and watch Joe (the professional) assist and explain, including the do's and the don'ts! We had a glass of verde white while preparing, and espresso at the end while we ate our warm Nata. Even my husband loved it! We followed his recommendation for lunch, it was a local favorite and delic! Thank you, Joe!
