Let’s celebrate Mothers Day the Portuguese way!

If you’ve ever tried your mama's authentic, traditional recipes, you knew in that moment hers were your favorite! Carla's Mama's Portuguese custard tarts were everyone's favorite!

Crispy and beautifully browned, they immediately awaken your senses right after leaving the oven.

In this special Mother's Day edition of our hands-on workshops, Carla Ramos from Table to Share will lead you on how to prepare delicious Portuguese custard tarts that she prepared with her mama which means it's sure to impress your family and friends!

You’ll start the class with yellow corn bread served with butter while Carla makes a short presentation on Portuguese cuisine. Then working together in teams of two, or with your mama, you'll learn the secrets on how to make the most creamy custard and flaky pastry.

Guests will prepare extras to be taken home, if they last until then ;)

While our tarts are in the oven, Carla will demonstrate how to prepare Portuguese-style flaming chorizo, and we literally mean flaming!!

A communal meal follows where Carla will serve a cod dish that couldn’t miss in a traditional Portuguese meal. As the popular saying goes “There are 365 ways of cooking Cod, one for each day of the year!” As a side we will have a green salad and of course the

chorizo! For dessert? Custard tarts of course! ;)

Guests will enjoy a LIVE performance by Portuguese artist John Ferreira while they eat.

Traditional music, food made by you and and the history behind it, what could be better than this?!
