The Country Cooking School

Your chance to enjoy a real taste of Portugal. The New Forest Lodge Country Cooking school is housed in an historic organic hill farm and equestrian estate on the edge of the Cabo Vincentina National Park. Join us and learn to cook in a real farm Kitchen. Learn to bake in a wood oven. Learn to select the freshest young vegetables from our organic kitchen gardens, fed from an historic Moorish well. This is a fun filled day and includes a visit to a local market and meeting some of the brave souls who help to get the freshest seafood to your table. Your fun packed day, starts with a relaxed cup of coffee and homemade cake around 10.00am.(We can arrange collection from your hotel or accommodation.) You will be introduced to us, your fellow guests and the kitchen with its wood fired oven and brushwood grill. Then it's off to the local fish market to soak up the local atmosphere and see the freshest of fish and vegetables. Back at the farm there is plenty to do, the wood oven will be lit but the bread must be made using fresh yeast from the baker. So roll up your sleeves and grab an apron.Herbs and organic produce from our gardens will be used to prepare salads and side dishes to accompany the bread , fish and meat that you will cook on the grill. We also have many vegetarian specialties for those guests who prefer not to eat meat, please let us know your preference when booking. Last but not least, something sweet - the dessert! All dishes are accompanied by appropriate local wines. Starting around 10.00a.m. and finishing around 4.00pm. after sitting down to enjoy the superb meal that you have cooked. The New Forest Lodge Country Cooking School is principally about having fun whilst learning a little about the proud heritage of Portuguese cuisine. We eat local food grown on our own or neighboring farms. Using traditional recipes, with wild herbs, fungi and the harvests from our organic Moorish kitchen gardens. We offer an insight into the forgotten art of cooking in brick built wood ovens and ranges. You will learn to select prepare and grill fresh fish, bake bread in our historic wood oven and learn how to chose the best fruits and vegetables from our organic kitchen gardens. You may even collect newly laid eggs from the poultry pens.

We decided to take our mom to Frances' cooking class for a birthday/mother's day gift while we were on vacation in Portugal! It was one of the most amazing days of our trip. Frances and Milton were so welcoming and knowledgeable! We made four types of bread, grilled fresh fish from the fish market, octopus, bacalhau, a salad, dessert and more that I'm forgetting. It was a feast!! We will be back when we return one day! Thank you again Frances and Milton!!

Fabulous authentic experience cooking dinner with Inez! The location is amazing with a stunning view over Tavira and out to sea. We were welcomed by Inez and there followed a relaxed informative and fun few hours preparing a three course meal. Each course was simple but delicious and we were guided gently through the techniques by Inez whilst she passed on a wealth of information about Portuguese gastronomy . Dinner outside under the starts in the beautiful garden was delightful. We can't wait for our next visit. Thank you for making it so special.

Singulartrips

Singulartrips is dedicated to gastronomic tourism that gives you private access to the authentic and unhurried Portugal. Our aim is to be recognized as the genuine guide for local gastronomy, through our tours and hands-on experience, and to make the event of travelling to Portugal unforgettable. We truly believe that the best way to know a country is by learning about its gastronomy. We have private tours and experiences that allows you that authentic knowledge. From in house cooking classes to gastronomic tours in Lisbon, from gastronomic experiences in the countryside to wine tours and experiences. Nevertheless, gastronomy is not unconnected from other forms of culture, thus we always include references to relevant literature, architecture and artistic tradition in the tours and experiences we design. All of our activities are subject to change, adapting to any wishes and needs you might have, including organizing parties and team-building sessions.
