What To Expect
This is a unique opportunity to enjoy a private cooking cooking class to explore traditional culture and cuisine. Join Patrizia and Giovanni in their home kitchen for your Tomar cooking class. You will cook a Portuguese meal with an Italian twist using local produce. Start with preparing the dough for schiacciata (Tuscan bread), then top it with herbs and bake it - it's crunchy on the outside, and soft and moist on the inside. Then combine a creamy local cheese with fresh tomatoes and the garden herbs to bake the aubergine. Next bake cod with tomatoes, olives and capers. The cheese is sourced locally from the farmers, and the cod and vegetables are sourced fresh from a local food market (Mercado Municipal). After the meal, sit together to enjoy the meal you helped prepare.
Your menu might include dishes such as grilled aubergines with cheese and tomato sauce, seasoned with extra virgin olive oil and chopped fresh herbs from the garden and spaghetti with shrimps and courgettes or baked cod with tomatoes, olive taggiasche e capperi di pantelleria (olives and capers). End your meal with a fresh, mixed fruit salad.
