São Paulo Home Cooking Class

This home cooking class takes place in a home kitchen setting in São Paulo, where a local cook leads participants through preparing classic São Paulo comfort food over roughly three and a half hours. The menu centers on feijão tropeiro, a bean-and-bacon dish typical of Brazilian home cooking, alongside farofa (toasted cassava flour) and a batch of brigadeiro for dessert, giving the class a savoury-heavy structure with a sweet finish. Because the class is held in a home kitchen rather than a commercial venue, group sizes are kept small, allowing hands-on participation at each stage of preparation rather than a demonstration format. The class includes all ingredients, use of the kitchen and cooking equipment, and a shared meal of the finished dishes with the group at the end; transportation to the kitchen location and alcoholic beverages are not included. The pace is relaxed given the home setting, with the local cook explaining techniques and ingredient substitutions typical of São Paulo households along the way. Dietary substitutions such as vegetarian versions of feijão tropeiro can often be arranged with advance notice, since the home kitchen format allows more flexibility than a commercial cooking school. The class is taught in Portuguese with English support depending on the cook, so visitors should confirm language needs when booking. Because the exact kitchen location is only shared after booking, participants should plan to receive address details closer to the class date.
