A Homemade Lunch In Lisbon Anyone?

A new P&O Cruises shore experience will allow travellers to rub shoulders with a Michelin star inspired chef, whilst shopping for and preparing the food they will eat the same afternoon in Portugal’s capital, Lisbon.

The trip has been created in partnership with the cruiseline and the city experts at Time Out, the global media and hospitality brand which inspires and enables people to experience the best of the city.

On selected holidays, ‘The Flavours of Lisbon by Time Out and P&O Cruises’ will offer guests a taste of local food with a hands-on cooking class in the world-famous Time Out Market and an opportunity to discover the Baixa district’s colourful Pink Street.

The experience will begin with a walking tour through Baixa at the heart of Lisbon with its stunning architecture, famous yellow trams and Pink Street, one of Lisbon's most photo-worthy locations.

Together with local chef Miguel Mesquita, guests will then visit Time Out Market which shares the building with a centuries-old traditional food market to discover its history while shopping for all the ingredients needed for a cooking class.

Later, at the Time Out Academy, which is Time Out Market Lisbon's cooking school, guests will then learn to prepare authentic local dishes before sitting down to enjoy the food.

The cooking class will be led by Miguel who is the Executive Chef of the Time Out Academy and a participant of MasterChef Portugal, winner of “Guerra dos Pratos” and a graduate of several Michelin star restaurants.
