About This Portuguese Cooking Class
Discover the bold, soulful, and elegant flavors of the Iberian coast with our Uncorked Portuguese Date Night Cooking Experience. In this hands-on class, you, your partner and your newest friends will prepare a sumptuous menu that celebrates the country’s rich culinary traditions and diverse influences.
We’ll begin with rustic Portuguese cornbread paired with creamy goat cheese and a briny olive tapenade—a hearty introduction to the rustic flavors of Portugal’s countryside. Next, we’ll sear tender diver scallops to perfection and serve them with a vibrant sweet pea and mint purée, a modern twist on classic coastal ingredients.
For the centerpiece, we’ll braise succulent duck in an orange-port wine sauce, a dish that captures the harmony of sweet, savory, and aromatic flavors Portugal is known for. On the side, we’ll make crispy roasted potatoes, a simple but beloved staple found on tables across the country.
The evening concludes with a luscious olive oil chocolate mousse, a dessert that combines bittersweet richness with the silky smoothness of Portugal’s famed oils. Each dish we prepare highlights a different aspect of Portuguese cuisine—sea, land, and vineyard—all woven together into a feast of flavor and tradition.
Whether you’re passionate about global cuisine or simply seeking a unique night out, this class offers an engaging and delicious journey to Portugal, right here at home.
