Synopsis

AZCOOK and Cut the Mustard invite you to join a distinctive culinary and Portuguese learning experience.
In this cooking and Portuguese learning experience you’ll experience the rich flavours of Portuguese cuisine while immersing in the beauty of the language. It's more than just a meal, it's a cultural and linguistic adventure!

On the menu, you’ll savour the delights of three local dishes, which will be the stars of our culinary exploration. But there’s more!
This is a hands-on experience both in the kitchen and with the language. Prepare to enhance your Portuguese skills through the art of cooking, complemented by a carefully curated selection of wines. From kitchen tools to linguistic tools, we'll cover it all.
