Learn 7 of Brazil's favorite recipes in a 3-hour boozy cooking class offering visitors an insight into the cooking techniques, ingredients and flavors of Brazil. Cook the meal yourself and see just how good you are at fulfilling some Brazilian recipes! 6 dishes + unlimited caipirinhas (Brazil's lime cocktail).
Make then eat 7 Brazilian favorite recipes including unlimited caipirinhas! Have fun with a Ilha Grande native while you explore Brazilian food culture! Our cooking class participants have a blast at a Brazilian kitchen, with vivacious Brazilian chef Mateus (a professional underwater fisher) that will enlighten them about Brazilian food, culture and customs.
You will make several appetizers all while holding a caipirinha (the fun way to cook!). Then you will make our main dish, then eat! To finish this lively, hand-on, cultural experience we will finish with either the signature "Brigadeiro" fudge dessert or with an Amazonian fruit licqueur, to conclude and celebrate our meal together.
1. Bottemless Caipirinhas, We'll teach you how to make the first so you can make as many as you wish during the class
2. Coconut batida, Instead of Brigadeiro, you can opt to learn to make this "batida", a licqueur made from coconut.

Mateus loves two things more than anything else: food and fishing. He'll share some life stories over dinner.
Mateus provided a truly unique and personal experience for us. Despite being the only guests, he made us feel like old friends, welcoming us into his home and sharing his deep love for the island and its cuisine. The intimate setting allowed for engaging conversations about the dishes, and his passion for cooking and fishing shone through. The food, especially the Moqueca, was delicious—even converting me into a seafood stew fan. The entire experience felt special, thanks to Mateus's genuine hospitality.

Chef Mateus delivered a fantastic experience for me and my brothers, combining personal engagement with his clear passion for fishing and cooking. His enthusiasm made the experience memorable and enjoyable. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for more than just a great meal—it's a true culinary adventure.

We had a fantastic evening! Mateus was a thoughtful host, making sure everyone felt welcome, from introductions at the table to teaching us about Moqueca and Brazilian island culture. He was attentive to food sensitivities, which made us feel right at home.
