The session begins with the preparation of bolo do caco served with garlic butter, olives and sweet potato hummus. You will then work on a seasonal fish dish inspired by Madeira’s coastal cuisine, using fresh local ingredients.

The class continues with a meat recipe marinated in wine and garlic, a preparation traditionally associated with festive occasions on the island. To finish, you will create a tropical dessert centred around one of Madeira’s most iconic fruits.
