Discover the true flavours of traditional Portuguese home cooking in this hands-on cooking class inspired by real family recipes. This experience is based on the authentic dishes cooked by Avó Lurdes, the grandmother of The Kitchen’s founder, Joana—recipes that have been passed down through generations and enjoyed by family and friends around the table. This class celebrates the simplicity, warmth, and comfort of Portuguese cuisine, showing how everyday ingredients can become unforgettable meals. All recipes are practical, flavourful, and easy to recreate at home, making this a perfect introduction to traditional Portuguese recipes. One of the highlights of the experience is dessert: the famous Chocolate Salami, made using Avó Lurdes’ original handwritten recipe—now proudly framed in The Kitchen and available for you to see during the class. This Cooking class in Lagos is ideal for travellers who want to experience authentic local food, culture, and family traditions. Whether you are visiting Portugal for the first time or looking to deepen your connection with Portuguese cuisine, this experience offers a warm, genuine, and delicious introduction to the country’s culinary heritage.
