"Merci à Patricia et Christian pour leur chaleureux accueil. Nous avons passé une très bonne soirée qui a commencée par un apéritif, suivi de la préparation des fameux Pasteis de Nata avant de passer au diner. En dessert, nous avons pu apprécier notre travail de patisserie et nous avons pû en emporter pour les déguster le lendemain. Patricia et Christian nous ont donné beaucoup de conseils pour le reste de notre séjour au Portugal. Loin des touristes, nous avons pu rencontrer cette charmante famille Portugaise. Obrigado !!!"

"Nous avons eu la chance avec nos enfants de cuisiner un repas typique de Porto avec Helena. Helena est une personne vraiment accueillante et qui sait nous mettre à l’aise. Elle a été très compréhensive avec nos enfants en « jet-lag » et nous a fait sentir comme des membres de sa famille. Nos échanges nous ont permis de mieux connaître la culture portugaise et nous garderons un excellent souvenir de cette soirée. Obridaga!"

"J'ai passé une super soirée avec Patricia, sa famille et ses amis et en plus, je suis repartie avec la recette des pasteis de nata. A faire absolument. Encore merci à Patricia pour cette soirée."

"Helena made the experience priceless but the exchange was a killer It was a great afternoon visiting in a friend's house cause Helena made you feel like a friend right away to wearing slippers and apron and enjoying port tonic to wine with the amazing meal then the flaming dessert. Thank you for a true Portuguese experience. Patti Anthony"

"Thank you so much, Helena. This was an incredible meal and you shared so much amazing stuff with us that will make our whole 2 weeks better. I can't thank you enough for welcoming us into your home and for cooking us that incredible meal. You are amazing. "

"Our dinner with Patricia and her husband was such a lovely diversion from all the typical touristy sightseeing we had done and one of the highlights of our trip. They were so welcoming and friendly! Dinner was delicious (I could’ve eaten the whole plate of stuffed mushrooms!) and Patricia even sent us home with several pastel de natas and some fresh bay leaves!"

"Helena was a wonderful host! From the very first chat on line to the details of dinner, giving us a true local experience. Helena met us when our bolt driver dropped us off. She then showed us to her home. We listened to Fado music as she entertained us with a 3 course local family meal. This experience was exactly what we were looking for. She also gave us some local \"dont,miss\" places to see for the next few days. After about 2.5 hours she walked us out and waited until our ride came. Highly recommend! Thank you again Helena for letting us be apart of life. Jen and Steve "

"We had a fantastic time with Patricia. The food and conversation were just amazing. She welcomed us into her home and shared stories. We learned so much! This was the best part of our entire trip to Portugal. Thank you, Patricia! "

"I had a great time with Helena! She is very warm, open and friendly. I joined her experience with my early teens. We went to the local butcher shop and supermarket together and then enjoyed chatting and appetizers while cooking together. I especially loved a glass of vinho verde with requeijão de ovelha! I liked this cheese so much that I ended up buying it several times during the rest of my stay in Portugal. For the main course, she asked me in advance what we wanted, and although it was hard to choose as they were all appealing, we decided on the bacalhau dish. It was nice to see how to prepare bacalhau, a traditional ingredient that is an essential part of Portuguese cuisine. Also, since it was right around Easter time, she prepared Easter cookie baking for my daughter and she had fun cutting up the cookies and decorating them with chocolate. Thank you for a lovely relaxing evening!"

"Helena was wonderful. She was very accommodating to our food preferences. She is a warm and welcoming person and was very easy to communicate with to set up the class. It was lovely to experience the cooking class in a local home. It is an experience you will enjoy while you are there and remember for a long time after. "
