Cooking Class & Lunch at the Farm

Have a great experience cooking in Algarve, from the farm to the table

This activity takes place in our traditional farm, and the idea is to prepare a complete meal full of the rich Algarve flavours. The meal will include 3 courses (Starter, Main and Dessert). Participants can chose from several options (meat, fish, seafood, vegetarian…) and finishing always with a delicious dessert. Next, participants are invited to share a relaxed meal having the opportunity to taste the prepared dishes in a beautiful setting.

The recipes used in this class are part of the rich and healthy mediterranean diet, characteristic from the south of Portugal: Alentejo and Algarve.

Participants will learn the recipes step by step, and participate in all parts of the process, from the selection of the ingredients in the local market (depending on the day of the activity) and the farm, to the final product and posterior tasting. Using local products, with an excellent quality and the presentation of the meal is also very important, as we will explain during the class.

What is included:

• Arrival at the food market and welcome
• Visit to local food market and shopping
• Cooking class at the farm
• Tasting: 3 courses meal, bread and drinks (water or lemonade, wine), coffee & tea
• Participation certificate
• All materials and products used in the class

Our cooking holidays in Algarve offer a comprehensive hands-on experience designed to teach you to make splendid Portuguese food, covering basic cooking techniques and inspiring you with recipes that are authentic and traditional.

Cooking classes are fun to attend. You learn new dishes, make new friends, and take home new techniques and ideas to make cooking at home more enjoyable. We show you to carefully select the ingredients so you will be able to do it yourself and to prepare all the recipes easily.

The class

You have the chance to experience the Mediterranean lifestyle. Visiting some of the best local food markets, you are able to select your own fresh products and choose all the ingredients we need for the cooking sessions.

This experience starts with a visit to the market, where you can choose the products that you use during the activity. The products used in our activities are preferably of organic origin, from local farmers and from the season, whenever possible.

You learn the recipes step by step and participate in all parts of the process, from the selection of the ingredients in the local market and the farm to the final product and posterior tasting.

Using local products with excellent quality and the presentation of the meal are also very important, as is explained during the class.

We also produce some of the ingredients that we use in our activities on our organic farm.
