Celebrating Portuguese Cuisine

To be the first to hear about classes, please sign up here.

We love food and as you can imagine, we spend a lot of time cooking and eating! All our holidays are spent tasting all that we can and hunting down some of the loveliest places. This class is a celebration of some of our absolute favourites from wonderful Portugal!

 

Teachers: Kirstie Urquhart is a superb chef who worked for many years with us at Papadeli before setting up as a personal chef.  She is wonderfully inventive and knowledgeable and creates absolutely gorgeous food.

Simon MacDonnell, aka Papa, is co-founder of Papadeli and is still mad about good food over 20 years later! He know SO much about food, as you can imagine and loves sharing.

All chefs are brilliantly knowledgeable and super friendly, so you’ll have a lovely time watching and learning before getting stuck in with some fabulous ingredients. then you get to eat what you’ve made and take lots home to share! Classes are fun and informative and we share the recipes with you to keep.

The Cookery School

Our cookery school, on the top floor above our deli, is a professional kitchen where our chefs create all the delights in the deli and superb food for catering events during the day – from canapés, buffets,  takeaway dishes, frozen meals and amazing cakes. In the evening, it’s a beautiful and perfect space for learning how to make all these dishes and taste some new flavours. If you ask nicely, Simon might give you a private tour of the deli…
