About
The Chefs Company
"We are Carina and Ana, two native Portuguese female chefs passionate about traditional food, culture, and hospitality. Our kitchen is an extension of our homes. The story of our dishes begins in the fertile soil of Ana’s family organic farm in historic Mafra, where seasonal vegetables and aromatics are harvested fresh for our classes, paired with wild seafood and market ingredients from Lisbon."
“Living in Lisbon Carina and Ana came to our place for a private cooking class. Heart-warming, professional, perfect conversations - the whole evening was amazing. And the food... phantastic! We would recommend to everyone coming to or living in Lisbon. For sure we will repeat it with our friends a lot of times..."
