January 6, 2022 Elouise Mccaul

The Algarve's sunny shores offer perfect escapes for all types, from those seeking the hot nightlife of flashy, energetic Lagos to those desiring secluded stays in rambling Sagres. Portugal's most southerly region offers historical attractions in former Moorish capital Silves and fascinating Tavira, great golf, fabulous beaches from Praia da Luz to Armacao de Pera, thermal springs at Caldas de Monchique, and miles of limestone caves and grottoes, cliffs and bays along its rugged coastline.

Fabulous authentic experience cooking dinner with Inez! The location is amazing with a stunning view over Tavira and out to sea. We were welcomed by Inez and there followed a relaxed informative and fun few hours preparing a three course meal. Each course was simple but delicious and we were guided gently through the techniques by Inez whilst she passed on a wealth of information about Portuguese gastronomy . Dinner outside under the starts in the beautiful garden was delightful. We can't wait for our next visit. Thank you for making it so special.

Then it's off to the local fish market to soak up the local atmosphere and see the freshest of fish and vegetables. Back at the farm there is plenty to do, the wood oven will be lit but the bread must be made using fresh yeast from the baker.

We also have many vegetarian specialties for those guests who prefer not to eat meat, please let us know your preference when booking. Last but not least, something sweet - the dessert! All dishes are accompanied by appropriate local wines. Starting around 10.00a.m. and finishing around 4.00pm. after sitting down to enjoy the superb meal that you have cooked.

We decided to take our mom to Frances' cooking class for a birthday/mother's day gift while we were on vacation in Portugal! It was one of the most amazing days of our trip. Frances and Milton were so welcoming and knowledgeable! We made four types of bread, grilled fresh fish from the fish market, octopus, bacalhau, a salad, dessert and more that I'm forgetting. It was a feast!! We will be back when we return one day! Thank you again Frances and Milton!!

My boyfriend and I recently took Lena’s Portuguese Cooking Class not knowing exactly what to expect. Lena went above and beyond in every aspect - the recipes were well chosen, the atmosphere was lovely, she had great tips and tricks, and obviously the food at the end was delicious. We had an excellent time, and we would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone who loves seafood and wants to learn more about Portuguese culture!

What a wonderful experience. I joined the all day cooking class at Casa de Mondo and absolutely loved every aspect of it. Set in the hills of Boliqueime is this beautiful, unique property made only better by our hosts. Harriet and Mondo as such genuine, lovely people - you feel so welcome and at home from the moment you step through the gates. The service is impeccable and so attentive, Chef Sergio Gama is obviously very experienced and graciously and patiently taught us all how make pataniscas (cod cakes), cataplana (traditional fish and seafood fish) and heavenly pastéis de nata (custard tarts). With lots of wine and snacks throughout the day, great company and conversations and a wonderful lunch afterwards, this was a day to remember. I will definitely be back for other events. Can not recommend Casa de Mondo, more! Thank you!!!
