" Les cheffes sont pro, passionnées de culture gastronomique avec du coup des échanges bien supérieurs à mes attentes, attentionnées, très bon relationnel. J'ai eu deux cours avec deux Cheffes différentes mais tout aussi engagées l'une que l'autre, heureuses d'être là, de faire ce job, avec une envie de partager une excellente cuisine portugaise et son histoire. Le local où ont lieu les cours est propre, très bien agencé, beau, convivial ! Merci de m'avoir permis de rencontrer ces personnes, avec toujours comme fil conducteur la cuisine et ce qu'elle véhicule de meilleur. "

" "Food Tour : absolument génial. Super intéressant de présenter l'histoire et la géographie du pays à travers la nourriture et les dégustations. Nos ados de 15 et 17 ans ont apprécié de ne pas faire un séjour uniquement basé sur des balades découvertes classiques. La description du stand poissonnerie au marché .. en anglais .. n'était pas forcément facile, mais l'essentiel, c'est que le shark que nous avons cuisiné soit bon :-)" "
