Lisbon · LISBON COOKING CLASSES
Most classes here are really pastel de nata classes, and that is exactly what people want. These 9 are honest about how much you roll and how much you watch, and which send you home with the recipe and a box.

“We made our own 3 pastel de natas in a group of 12 people. Sergio explained everything very good and it was fun to do. At the end we had drinks together and got our own pastel de natas to eat directly or take home. I really enjoyed in with my husband and daughter (24).”

“This was a lot of fun. I promised the people I mange at work that I'd make them Pastels if they hit target while I was away. Now I have to wow them. I'm confident I will. One complaint - at the end our hosts offered bags for taking away our pare tarts. But I'd already eaten all mine. They were too good.”
