Join our newest LGBTQ+ cooking night in Ipanema, the only culinary experience in Rio made exclusively for the LGBTQ+ community.
Whether you're a kitchen newbie or a seasoned flavor enthusiast, this class blends fun, learning, and a generous dose of delicious chaos, in the best way possible.
You’ll be laughing, cooking, and maybe even dancing, it is Rio, after all. By the end of the night, you'll walk away with a full belly, new friends, and unforgettable memories.
Our instructors are chosen not only for their culinary chops, but for their warmth, sense of humor, and ability to create a welcoming space for all, regardless of where you're from or who you love.
Whether you're a novice or a kitchen pro, they’ll tailor the experience to your comfort level so everyone gets hands-on, learns a few tricks, and feels at home.
Not a 5-star night? We’ll give your money back!
And as a launch gift, all bookings made before September 1 include a complimentary bottle of Brazilian wine.

What's included in LGBTQ+ Cooking Class in Rio: Cook, Toast & Celebrate Together
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Tie your apron, grab a caipirinha, and step into Rio’s most vibrant kitchen party, hosted with love and pride for LGBTQ+ community. This isn't your grandma's cooking class—unless she knows how to wield a caipirinha while juggling cassava. In our small-group adventure, you'll go from market mavens to kitchen wizards faster than you can say "Picanha." Get ready to chop, sizzle, and sip your way through Brazil's zestiest flavors, all while laughing harder than you thought possible with a spatula in hand. You can book with confidence! We have the cooking experience down to a science (food+drinks+fun+culture) If you don't drink alcohol, let us know after you book, as we can teach how to make tropical fruit juices and mocktails.
