I love learning about food and so make a habit of doing a cooking class where possible when on holiday. There are two differences with Richard and Yara’s - first of all their explanation of the links between cuisine, culture and history, which really adds to the enjoyment of the food. Secondly, the story of how they came to be in Paraty and their passion for what they do makes the entire evening somewhat magical. To an extent what has been written in some previews reviews is true - the cooking duties are divided between the group and so you do not personally construct each part of the meal from start to finish. However, I think this is a huge benefit as you engage much more with the other guests during the process and there is more time to enjoy the meal over excellent conversation. We had a truly wonderful evening and if I ever come back to Paraty I will definitely book another evening with Richard and Yara!
