授業は良かったが、費用に見合うものを感じなかった。私や夫を含め、ほとんどの参加者は、私たちが大人になってからずっと料理を用意してきたので、私たちのキッチン周りをよく知っていて、料理の経験もしていました。ポルトガル料理の「魂」について学んだ気がしなかった;何がそれをユニークで特別なものにしているかについて。出発すると、夕食まで12人分のワインが1本ずつ割りました。場所もちょっと邪魔です。あなたが本物の-おばあちゃんの台所から/から学ぶを探している場合は、これはクラスではありません。

Thank you for sharing your feedback.
While we fully respect that every guest is entitled to their opinion, we do feel it is important to clarify a number of factual inaccuracies contained in your review.
Firstly, our public cooking classes are limited to a maximum of 10 participants, not 12 as stated. Secondly, we were genuinely surprised by your comment regarding the wine. Throughout every class, wine is served continuously during both the cooking session and the meal, and we routinely open multiple bottles whenever needed. This is one of the aspects most frequently praised by our guests and simply does not reflect the experience we provide.
As for the recipes, whether someone enjoys a particular dish is naturally subjective. However, suggesting that they lack authenticity or quality is something we respectfully disagree with. Our menus have been carefully developed over more than 13 years, are rooted in traditional Portuguese home cooking, and have been enjoyed by tens of thousands of guests from all over the world.
It also seems that your expectations were for a very different type of experience, specifically what you describe as "learning in grandma's kitchen." While we completely understand that this may have been your personal preference, this is not how our experience is presented. Our goal is to offer an authentic, hands on Portuguese cooking class in a professional environment, while sharing the stories, traditions and techniques behind each recipe.
We always welcome constructive feedback, as it helps us improve. However, we also believe it is important that reviews accurately reflect the experience that was actually offered.
We would encourage future readers to consider this review alongside the thousands of reviews shared by guests who have enjoyed this same experience over the past 13 years. We remain incredibly proud of the consistency, authenticity and hospitality that have made Cooking Lisbon one of Portugal's highest rated culinary experiences.
