Seasonal Azorean Cooking Class in Ponta Delgada, Azores
Maria grew up in the Azores in a small village of 10,000 people. She bought a house on a small plot of land with an orchard where she grows figs, apples, pears, almonds, oranges and more. Living in the subtropical climate of the Azores, Maria also is able to grow a variety of tropical fruits including papaya, guava and lychee.

During your cooking class you will learn how to make a traditional Azorean meal featuring seasonal ingredients. After cooking, sit down together to enjoy your traditional Azorean family-style meal. End your experience with a selection of coffee or tea, as well as a presentation of Maria’s homemade liqueur and moonshine.
