Learn how to make some of Brazil's most loved dishes, Pao de Queijo and Brigadeiro, with a chef, live from Brazil

Pack your bathing suit, we're heading to Rio de Janeiro! This all star class will bring you to the lively city of this stunning country. 


You'll start with Pão de Queijo, the famous Brazilian cheese bread found at nearly every local gathering. This bread's recent rise in popularity can be attributed to two things. First the concept of rodízio-style restaurants. Second, and arguably more impactful, Pão de Queijo is naturally gluten free. This bread is made with the starch of a popular Brazilian tubur is what gives the bread slight crunch, but more chewy and soft and even a bit of pulling texture. It's delightful. 


Once that's baking, you'll move on to your Arroz de Carreteiro, which literally translates to Carter's Rice. This variation of a one-pot rice dish is amongst the favorites and will be a recipe you go to time and time again.  But what's dinner without a sweet ending?  And this class will have you rolling and popping chocolate desserts with ease. Brigadeiro, pronouced [bɾiɡaˈdejɾu]) are surprisingly simple Brazilian treats that have roots in both a political candidate and the introduction of a major food product. Ask your chef which what he thinks!

Chef Renato was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. He has a Bachelor degree in Biology, as well a MBA and a Masters in Biophysics all from UFRJ. He traveled all Brazil while working for the government for 12 years since  2001 and fell in love with the regional cuisinies of Brazil and the art of cooking.

He decided to pursue his passion for cooking at the esteemed Institute of Culinary Education, NYC, where he graduated from the Culinary Arts program. After, he worked at restaurants in Rio de Janeiro and travelled the country and abroad for culinary inspiration. He found it during his travels including his time in Spain, where he worked as a private chef. He eventually moved back to his home country, taking with him his love of Tapa. When arriving back to Brazil, he opened his own restaurants and culinary experience.

Now residing in Tiradentes – MG, one of the most influential culinary centers in the country, he owns and runs a restaurant serving typical local Brazilian food as well as an in-person cooking class.

His approach to cooking is: “Quality of the ingredients and simplicity on the techniques never goes wrong.”

My girlfriend and I have never done a cooking class before, so we decided to try it for our anniversary this year and it was fantastic. The food was amazing & Chef Renato was super helpful throughout. He gave us some useful tips, would tell us exactly what to look for, and taught us a lot about the food and where the inspiration came from. Awesome experience and 10/10 would do again.

Nick Remy

Great fun. Renato was a great teacher and we learnt a lot about Brazilian food and culture. It really was as if he were in our kitchen. This was a brilliant birthday present from our son. Would heartily recommend!
