Description

Immerse yourself in the rich culinary traditions of Brazil with a hands-on cooking class in the vibrant neighborhood of Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro. Begin your culinary adventure with a convenient hotel pickup in the afternoon, transporting you directly to the chef's kitchen. Upon arrival, you'll be introduced to the chef who will guide you through the preparation of a traditional Brazilian dinner. Before the class, you'll have the opportunity to choose between two iconic dishes: feijoada, a hearty black bean stew with pork, or seafood moqueca, a flavorful fish stew with coconut milk. The chef will present the freshest ingredients and share tips on how to select the best produce for your meals. As you cook, you'll learn about the history and cultural significance of each dish. In addition to the main course, you'll prepare delicious side dishes such as coalho cheese with pepper jelly, sausage with onion flambéed in cachaça, and the beloved Brazilian dessert, brigadeiro. To complement your meal, you'll mix up a classic caipirinha and a refreshing coconut shake. After cooking, sit down to enjoy the fruits of your labor in a convivial atmosphere. Savor the authentic flavors of Brazilian cuisine and share stories with fellow participants. Once the meal is over, the transfer service will take you back to your hotel, leaving you with unforgettable memories and new culinary skills. In high season, tours can take longer due to traffic and the large volume of people in the city.
