Overview

This experience is special because it offers an authentic cultural immersion inside a real Bahian home. Instead of a commercial cooking class, you cook side-by-side with a welcoming local family, learning recipes, stories, and traditions passed down through generations. You visit the historic São Joaquim Market with a private guide, choose fresh ingredients, prepare iconic Afro-Bahian dishes, and enjoy a homemade meal in an intimate, warm atmosphere. It’s a genuine connection to Bahia’s flavors, history, and people—something you simply can’t experience in a restaurant or with a professional chef.

Experience the true flavors and history of Bahia in this private cooking class with a local family. Your private guide picks you up at your hotel and takes you to the lively São Joaquim Market, where you’ll explore traditional ingredients and learn how Afro-Brazilian cuisine was shaped by the Atlantic slave trade. Select fresh fruits for your handmade caipirinhas, then continue to the warm home of a local family.
You’ll be welcomed with a traditional casquinha de siri, followed by a hands-on class preparing iconic dishes: fish and shrimp moqueca, banana moqueca, coconut rice, and dendê farofa. As you cook, your hosts share stories, techniques, and family traditions.
End the experience enjoying a homemade Bahian dessert and sharing a relaxed meal with your hosts.
A cultural, intimate, and unforgettable culinary journey into the heart of Bahia.
