Always a pleasure visiting Quinta da Vida 🌿

This time, I had the chance to work with their own freshly picked lemons, straight from the trees, to create a vibrant Lemon Meringue Tart 🍋✨ Fresh, sharp, and perfectly balanced.

Even better when you’re in a kitchen fully equipped with SMEG—where quality tools meet precision and creativity. The perfect combination to bring great ingredients to life.

Dessert & Wine Pairing: Airbnb Experience🍰🍪🍫🌰

Book your Experience now!
Link 🔗 in Bio

Enjoy a private, after-hours Portuguese dessert-making masterclass at my restaurant, @quest_lx , followed by a “choose your own adventure” wine pairing experience.

You’ll sample several Portuguese-inspired pastries and locally sourced wines.

• Step into the role of a pastry chef and learn to create a seasonal, regional dessert, such as Lisbon chocolate cake. I’ll guide you through the process, sharing stories about the locally sourced ingredients and their connection to Portuguese culture and gastronomy.

• Indulge in a selection of small desserts and wines—including port and natural varieties—as you craft personalized pairings based on your preferences.

• Take home the recipe for the dessert we made together, along with a gift bag of sweet treats.

If you’re inspired to explore Lisbon further when we finish, I’ll provide recommendations on where to go out—and a discount voucher for @quest_lx , should you wish to visit the restaurant for brunch. by @hendriks_pretorius
