“What a nice suprise this cooking experience turned out to be! It was very interesting to learn about Portugal’s history and about the portuguese culture with all its magnificent monuments which would had never been able to really appreciate if it wasn’t for all the enthusiasm and detail of this visit. Each cooking class was a show of flavours and funny stories about this familiar people. I traveled alone but felt I was with family. Loved it and I will be back again. Wait for me Sofia!” ~ Doroteia R.(S.Paulo, Brasil)

“My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed Sofia’s cooking classes and tours of the Alentejo. The food, wines and cultural sites were amazing and impressive. We learned the cooking techniques and recipes, ensuring that these dishes were easy to replicate at home. Our friends and family have enjoyed many delightful Portuguese meals at home since our trip.” ~ Mike

“Sofia Vieira runs a wonderful cooking and cultural experince in Evora, Portugal.  She shares her love of regional Alentajo food, Portuguese culture and history and the amazing beauty of the local countryside with everyone lucky enough to attend her cooking school. I have travelled all over the world and done cooking schools for many years – this one is the best I have done. I recommend it highly if you are well travelled and want to get away from the big city packaged tour groups and have a real look at Portugal” ~ Jane Wolfe, Queensland Australia
