Vegan Portuguese Cooking Class

This class works just as well for experienced vegans as for people who’ve never cooked a plant-based meal — the focus isn’t on substitutions or workarounds, but on how good ingredients, good technique and a bit of Portuguese instinct come together into something genuinely delicious. Recipes are a guide, not a rulebook, so there’s room to improvise and ask questions (bring a pen if you like to take notes). You’ll be on your feet for most of the evening, cooking alongside a small group and a professional chef, so comfortable shoes are a good idea. Taught in English and open to all skill levels — whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or simply curious.

What’s on the table

The menu changes with the season and adapts to your group’s needs — but here’s what a typical evening looks like:

• Snacks & bites — served throughout the class, including Portuguese olive oils and seasonal bites to keep you going while you cook
• Starter — a light plant-based dish to open the meal, rooted in Portuguese flavours
• Main course — a hearty, flavour-forward vegan dish rooted in traditional Portuguese cooking
• Dessert — a Portuguese sweet reimagined without dairy or eggs, often featuring almonds, citrus, or seasonal fruit
• Wine, soft drinks, coffee & tea — included throughout the evening

• Hands-on vegan cooking class with a professional chef
• 3-course plant-based dinner
• Portuguese wine & soft drinks
• Digital cookbook
