About This Class
An introduction into one of the world’s most underrated cuisines, the flavors of Portugal class will take you on a journey through centuries of gastronomic exploration and delight. With influences from many parts of the Mediterranean, the cuisine of Portugal is hearty and very seafood driven.
Inspired by the classics he grew up with, Chef Telmo’s food takes some influence from the fresh ingredients of Northern California to create his take on his favorites. Look for his new restaurant, Uma Casa, opening in San Francisco soon but, in the meantime, you can experience his modern Portuguese food in our kitchens.

Please arrive at the school with your own mask on. You will be given a new, disposable mask to wear in class to ensure what you have on hasn’t been contaminated prior to entering SFCS. We will have extras available should you need one while at school.
