This was such a wonderful experience. The chefs were so nice and explained every step in a way that was super easy to follow. I loved that they also shared the history of pastel de nata. It was such a personable experience, like being in a kitchen with friends. Highly recommend if you want to learn something new and have a great time!

Chef Miguel is excellent. Friendly and knowledgeable, he gave me useful ‘insider information’ on baking that not many professionals know about. His English is very good, and he did a great job instructing me. I will definitely come back for more classes and will bring my wife next time.
