I'd highly recommend a tour with Hayza.Written January 14, 2025

Highly recommend Cook in Rio for any foodies that come to Rio. From being met at the supermarket by our chef Carina and her showing us products that we have never heard about we were captivated right from the start. Back to the studio where we made typical Brazilian dishes. There wasn’t a lot of hands on work that we did but we appreciated Carina’s excellent English and her lovely personality. Overall a really enjoyable and delicious experience.

Wow… outstanding experience. Haysa is a charismatic and energetic chef who captivated the group. Every person participated in cooking activities from chopping to rolling and tasting. The final meal was scrumptious. It’s a definite must if you ever visit Rio de Janeiro.

My husband and I booked a private market tour and cooking class with Chef Luis and it ended up being one of our favorite experiences in Rio! We learned a lot about Brazil and its cuisine, tried a variety of tropical fruits we had never even heard of before, and perfected the caipirinha cocktail with more lime and less sugar than the ones you find on the beach. Since we only had a few days in Rio, this was a great way to try a lot of the classic dishes like fish moqueca, fried cassava, farofa, etc. all in one place. Chef Luis even recommended a couple of places around the city for us to try some of his other favorite foods. Highly recommend for those who love eating and learning about food!

My bestfriend and I recently attended this cooking class in Brazil with Chef Hayza and it was an incredible experience! Hayza was not only talented but also exceptionally personable, making the atmosphere warm and inviting. We had engaging conversations about Brazilian culture, which added a rich context to the dishes we prepared. Even though all these dishes were new to us she made us feel so confident with the constant motivation. Highly recommend this class for anyone looking to connect with Brazil through its cuisine!

My son and I had a great experience. We added the supermarket tour prior to the cooking class and I can highly recommend it. Luiz was our enthusiastic tour guide and a chef, he explained a lot about all the local produce and products. My head was spinning from all the information but it was very interesting.
This was followed by the cooking class (the space is upstairs btw). It was a small intimate group of 6 people. Everyone participated and helped with part of the prep and cooking, this included making our own Caipirinha drinks. We also got to sample various fruits and drinks not part of the menu. It was a whirlwind of fun activity, with chef Luiz expertly and patiently guiding us through it. Very enjoyable, very educational and very tasty food. Highly recommended!

We appreciate your feedback! 😊 We're thrilled to hear that you and your son had a fantastic experience, especially enjoying the supermarket tour with Luiz. It's wonderful that you found the information about local produce so interesting.
The intimate cooking class sounds like it was a lot of fun, with everyone participating and even making their own Caipirinhas. Sampling fruits and drinks beyond the menu adds a special touch, and we're glad Luiz's expertise and patience made it even more enjoyable.
For your next visit, consider trying our tasting tour or seafood barbecue class for more culinary adventures. Safe travels and happy cooking!

My family, me and two teenagers (15, 17), did the picanha cooking class with Nicole and had a fantastic time. There were a total of 6 guests and we were all able to do several portions of the cooking. It was a unique experience to be in someone's home and Nicole made us feel very welcome as if we were family. Not only did we cook but we learned about the techniques to Brazilian cooking and the cultural aspect of sharing meals with family during all day bar-b-ques! She was fun but also very serious about safety and ensuring we knew what to and not to do. All the food was deliciously prepared by the guests which made it fun to cheer each other on. I would absolutely do this again and highly recommend this activity.
