Absolutamente a repetir! - Adorei. O tempo passou num ápice! Foi muito divertido, pedagógico e muito, mas muito saboroso. Aprendemos a preparar uma refeição requintada e tipicamente portuguesa. A Chef é incrível, extremamente simpática... read more e muito boa comunicadora. Consegue transmitir, com toda a leveza, um conjunto de conhecimentos e técnicas que serão muito úteis. Partilhar a refeição em grupo foi, a seguir, uma ótima experiência.
5 estrelas ⭐️ - ESPETACULAR!!!
