Team Building Cooking Classes in Oporto:
For groups of 10-15, cooking classes are an excellent activity as part of a team
building activity. For companies visiting Oporto as part of an incentive trip, we
can offer your company team building culinary afternoons with Portugal's most famous
chef, Hélio Loureiro. Hélio cooks for dignitaries, diplomats, aristocrats,
executives and even heads of state. He has organized international food and wine
festivals, and he is a member of such important culinary organizations as the Chaine
Rotisseurs and Slow Food. Additionally, he has written various cookbooks including
"Recipes to Accompany Port Wine", edited by the Instituto do Vinho do Porto. And he
can give your special group a VIP cooking class!
Northern Portuguese cuisine is heavy on seafood, olive oil, cured hams, artisan cheeses,
fresh vegetables and herbs, and sweet desserts. Portuguese wines are legendary, from
the zippy young Vinho Verde whites to luscious port wines. Recipes on your exclusive
cooking class event could include such delicacies as Salt Cod Salad, Octopus Stewed
in Red Wine, and Portuguese style squid. Your group will be divided into 2 or 3 teams,
each responsible for a dish. Hélio will guide you expertly, to the chopping and the
frying, and the object is to see which team's dish comes out best.
This is great fun, and takes place in one of the best equipped professional kitchens in
Portugal- in the Porto Palacios 5* Hotel, where Hélio is the head chef. Each member of
staff will receive a beautiful culinary diploma with your company logo on it, a gift,
and the date of the class, and Hélio will sign your keepsake Portuguese recipe booklets.
An unforgettable event
