You'll enter a completely different world by meeting a local family at their eating table in a unique a cultural food adventure. Each meeting is personal, with only your own family/party and the local family.

After meeting the local family and having your first drink, you'll start assisting the family with preparing the meal. You may also simply enjoy the process by just watching, making notes and taking pictures which is also possible. All local families speak at least some basic English, which gives you the possibility to chat and learn about daily life in this country. Talk with the host family about anything you'd like to know, including sharing some things about yourself and your home country. Most local families find it very interesting to hear about other cultures as well!

By doing this you help in an accessible and fun way to make the lives of local families a little easier. Travel with a cause has never been easier and more fun! Travel for a Cause is 100% guaranteed, while the experiences are World Fair Trade Organization accredited.

De excursie zou bestaan uit met een familie samen een maaltijd koken. Toen wij aankwamen stond er al een maaltijd bestaande uit rijst/bonen een stukje vis, 1 fles water, 1 pak sap en een fles wijn klaar op tafel. Niks samen koken en ook geen recept. Het gezin had er ook niet echt zin in op opa en de kleinkinderen na. Spraken alleen Portugees geen Engels. Absoluut op deze manier geen aanrader!!!

Unfortunately we were not able to interact with Maria and her family due to the language barrier. Dinner was ready when we arrived so no opportunity to help prepare it. We didn’t gain the local knowledge or our questions answered because of the language barrier. Seeing the whole family unit was very special, though our visit lasted only 1 hour.

The family were really friendly and accommodating and the food was lovely however for the price of the excursion it was not good value for money. There was just one course and no drinks offered.

an insightful way to understand more about local people on the island.

Geen verbetering en super aardige locals. Zeer gastvrij en lekker gegeten.
