    Great cooking class in Porto
    Wonderful cooling class with Chef Vitor. We were divided into 4 groups to make various dishes from emtres to dessert. Lots of fun making delicious food and drinking great wine. Nest cooking class ever. Abrigado Vitor and staff.

    Perfect evening to get out of a restaurant and into a kitchen and have fun doing it
    If you’re looking for a relaxed way to learn more about Portuguese cooking, taste some great food and wine and have a lot of fun doing it, this is the class for you. Vitor leads a multi-course cooking adventure where you get to be actively hands-on with delicious recipes and learn techniques along the way. He is always with a laugh and making even the most inexperienced cook feel at home in the kitchen. Worth every cent!

    Great family activity!
    What a great experience!! I reached out to Vitor as I knew we had a free rainy day. He kindly accommodated our family of 6 for an amazing experience! He was entertaining, knowledgeable and considerate of our needs. He made us feel comfortable in his kitchen. The meal was delicious and fun to prepare! We have just started our time in Porto but this experience will be hard to beat! Highly recommend!

Vitor provided a special experience for all of us. We began with a traditional starter of Portuguese sausage, cheese, wine and lively conversation. It all felt like we were visiting an old friend for an afternoon cooking adventure. We all were "hands on" with each of us responsible for a different course but often overlapping. Vitor made it so comfortable with his willingness to share his cooking story with us. The dishes were delicious and the company memorable. This course is highly recommended!

Had a class tonight with my wife and son. Gotta say that we had a blast! Victor accommodates all levels of cooking expertise with aplomb. The food was delicious and the entire group was engaged! I think that this is a "must do" in Porto! Thank you Victor for the fantastic evening! See you the next time we are in Porto! I do think that an advanced class of cooking more intricate dishes would be worth a try!

Ola Family, I thank you for your commitment and sympathy throughout the class. Your family energy and complicity is absolutely remarkable. The humor and good mood between father and son are contagious. I hope Keila's hand quickly recovers from the huge job of slicing onion and chopping coriander ... Thank you, I wish you the best Vitor

Olá Nancy. It was great to be with all of you in a traditional class. I am sure that your gifts for cooking vegetable soup, were well established. Everyone will want to try your vegetable creams, plated like real Michelin chefs. Thankful, I wish you the best Vitor

After a last minute decision I decided to do a Cooking Class. As a solo traveller I like to get involved. The class was small (only 5 of Us) Víctor was a great host. Loved his place and the entire day. He got everyone involved helping and cooking all the dishes which were delicious. I was very impressed. I will definitely do again next in Portugal and would highly recommend. The wine flowed, great conversation and fabulous recipes.

Hello Fiona, It was great to receive your call and reconcile schedules. The fish experience was wonderful. I confess that without your precious help, it would have been much more difficult to achieve the intended end result. Thank you dear Sub Chef.

We thoroughly enjoyed preparing our evening meal with the help of the lovely chef, Christina - great venue, fantastic food and wines (especially liked the white port cocktail). We look forward to receiving the recipes so that we can cook the dishes for our friends here in the UK.
It was fun getting to know our host, Vitor and fellow diners from 'across the pond'. Well done Cook in Ribeira - a great evening all round, thank you.

We had an amazing time at this cooking class. Vitor and Cristina were extremely welcoming and friendly and the food we cooked was delicious. Learning Portuguese cooking methods in this great environment was one of the many highlights of our trip to Porto.

We were so lucky to find these wonderful people to teach us Portuguese cooking. The communication was excellent and very easy to book on to. Everything was carefully explained and spoken in English. We even set fire to a sausage. It was a fun evening and we all sat down and ate the meal we cooked exchanging lovely stories. There was plenty of wine and a port and tonic to start the evening off. We were made very welcome and I can honestly say that we loved our cooking experience. Thank you Cristina and Vitor for making our stay in Porto one to remember! What was even better was that we can recreate the dishes at home as Vitor sent us the recipes.

What an entertaining and great night we had with Vitor. The moment we arrived, we had a Portuguese white port and tonic in our hands and away we went. Vitor was a great host and instructor in the kitchen, it was all hands on deck, which was fun. The meal we prepared and ate was a delicious typical Portuguese fare, with delicious wine from the Douro Valley. I would definitely recommend 'Cook in Ribeira' for something completely different and a window into Portuguese life and food.
