Part I: Guided Market Tour — Portugalia Marketplace (April 1 @ 11 AM)

Note: Attendance to both classes is recommended, but not required. Each class sold separately.

Part I: Guided Market Tour — The Iberian Kitchen: Join us for a field trip to the renowned Portugalia Marketplace in Fall River, MA. This incredible market is one of Chef Amy’s personal favorites, offering such an extensive selection that she no longer bothers to carry delicacies home from trips to the Iberian Peninsula—she’ll find them all here! Explore a treasure trove of tinned fish, regional wines, fresh breads, smoked meats, pantry staples, housewares, and even a dedicated salt cod room. Learn how to source authentic ingredients for iconic dishes from Portugal and Spain while enjoying time to shop and explore.

Guests can meet at Joyful Kitchen to carpool* or drive independently. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the heart of Portuguese culture and cuisine!

*Meet at Joyful Kitchen no later than 10 AM, or meet at Portugalia at 11AM

Cooking Classes: Remember to come hungry, because you will leave with a full belly. Please don’t think that you have to be a great cook to take any of these classes. All you really need is to enjoy spending time in the kitchen, or desire to increase your enjoyment in the kitchen. Joining one of our cooking classes will be a fun and engaging experience and change your relationship toward food for the better. During class, each participant will receive recipe printouts, shopping and preparation checklists, and plenty to eat. Classes are by reservation only. Only 12 reservations per class. Please let us know about any special dietary needs.

Cancellation Policy: Because seating is limited and food is purchased in advance, we cannot guarantee full refunds for cancellations made less than a week prior to the event. In the event you must cancel late, we will attempt to fill your seat with someone from our waiting list. Please email cancellation notices.

What Should I Bring? Please dress comfortably and come with a smile and eagerness to learn. Small group classes are taught by both demonstration and hands-on participation, so you can choose to participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable. We will provide all the tools you need to participate, including aprons, cutting boards, knives, etc.

The School: Surrounded by stainless steel, thick white marble, commercial grade appliances, and artful accents, you will learn to cook in a rather stylish way at Joyful Kitchen in Wellesley. Joyful Kitchen has a state-of-the-art kitchen-featuring top of the line cookware and appliances from Sub-Zero & Wolf.
