"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. "

"We had the most wonderful time learning to cook Portuguese family recipes with Vera. This is a special experience not to be missed if possible. Vera’s warmth and kindness make this experience so incredible. Her recipes are also delicious and some of the best food we ate on our visit to Porto. We had so much fun cooking, chatting, drinking wine and snacking. Our two kids loved the chance to cook and learn and it was a wonderful way to spend the day. I can’t recommend enough booking this experience or any tour with Vera. We will remember our day cooking with her forever!"

"We truly enjoyed our evening with Helena. First of all we would like to thank her for being so flexible. We had to change the date and time plus we don't eat meat!! We cooked together a very delicious rice with seafood. Helena shared with us some of her cooking secrets plus we enjoyed different appetizers, wines, deserts, fruits. We have no idea how the time flew so fast! Highly recommend her!"

"We had an excellent time with Helena. She is an extremely warm and gracious host. She showed us all the steps and let us help out too. Being welcomed into someone’s home was a great experience. Highly recommend an evening with Helena!"

"Helena is a good teacher! Very kind and charming lady. We made seafood rice that was delicious. The evening felt as though you lived in her home, complete with family members joining you for dinner and her dog, Xingu, is awesome. :)"

"What an amazing experience! Right as we arrived to Helena house, she received us with lots of amazing apeteziers and delicious Portuguese wine. As we started preparing the ingredients for the francesinha, Helena offered us more and more snacks and wine and everything was absolutely delicious. I loved that we got to get our \"hands dirty\" and cook the dish ourselves. It is a super known dish that you can find in a lot of restaurants in Porto so knowing how to make it, made me feel very special and a true portuense. Would totally recommend it to pass by Helena's place if you are ever in Porto because she is truly an amazing host and a lovely person :) "

"Helena welcomed me and my family into her home for a delightful evening. She is a warm and friendly woman who puts you at ease as soon as you come into her home. The famous Franchesinha sandwich/dinner was a true gastronomic feast of meats , sausage and cheese. I would recommend an evening with Helena!"

"Helena was such a wonderful host. Both me and my husband had a great night in her wonderful kitchen. He was jolly pleased to finally learn the secret about the sauce of Francesinha! "

"Our evening with Helena was awesome. We had a wonderful meal, great wine and learned allot. She is a lovely hostess and fun to be with. Anyone who enjoys cooking will appreciate this experience! Melanie"

"We began cooking our seafood Marisca and the power went out in the entire neighborhood ! We lit candles and used our cell phone lights and made a most delicious dish! Only at dessert, Helena’s homemade jams and fresh cheese, did the power come back on! We are US Southern Belles and extremely resourceful! Helena is a great cook and we were honored to be guests in her home!"
