From Forest to Feast: Oysters of the Land (Dec. 19)
A Christmas Culinary Experience with Chef Carlos
Join Zé for a Foraging & Culinary Adventure in the Serra de Sintra!
Step off the beaten path and into the enchanting Serra de Sintra for a hands-on journey of mushroom foraging, cooking, and tasting, all guided by Zé, a true local who knows these forests like the back of his hand.
This isn’t just a hike: Zé will introduce you to edible mushrooms, teaching you how to identify and responsibly harvest them along the scenic trails. Learn the secrets of the forest and hear stories that connect nature, tradition, and the land.
After our walk, we’ll head to a nearby house in Sintra where the magic continues. With Zé’s guidance, you’ll turn your foraged finds into delicious dishes in a live showcooking session. Each participant will also craft their very own jar of mushroom preserves to take home, a tangible memory of your day in the forest.
