Portuguese Cuisine | Hands-On Cooking Workshop (in English)
Discover the true flavours of Portugal in this immersive, hands-on cooking experience at AZCOOK.
Led by Chef Pedro Abril, this workshop invites you to explore the richness of Portuguese gastronomy through traditional recipes, Mediterranean ingredients, and authentic cooking techniques. Designed especially for the international community, this session will guide you through the preparation of a carefully curated three-course menu that reflects the diversity and heritage of Portuguese cuisine.
Menu:
-
Gaspacho de Mértola – A refreshing southern-style bread soup from the Alentejo region, celebrating ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs.
-
Arroz de Pato – A classic Portuguese duck rice, slow-cooked for depth of flavour and finished in the oven for a perfectly crisp top.
-
Fresh Lavender Leite Creme – A delicate twist on the beloved Portuguese custard dessert, infused with subtle lavender notes and caramelized sugar.
Throughout the workshop, Chef Pedro Abril will share insights into traditional preparation methods, regional influences, and the importance of seasonal Mediterranean produce in Portuguese cooking.
Whether you are new to Portugal or simply wish to deepen your understanding of its culinary traditions, this workshop offers a relaxed, welcoming environment where you will cook, learn, and enjoy the meal together at the table.
Join us and experience Portuguese cuisine beyond the restaurant — through hands-on cooking, storytelling, and shared flavours.
