Our first experience with Zé this cohort is a coastal one… this time, he takes us into the depths of the forest as mushroom season begins 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 (Ostra da Terra), a chef-forager and Sintra local who knows these forests like the back of his hand.
The experience is split into two parts: we first meet in the mountain, where 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. Through a live show-cooking session, Zé transforms from ‘mushroom guide’ to ‘master chef’, showing you how to turn your foraged finds into a mouth-wateringly delicious 3-course meal. Each participant will also leave with a little gift to take home as a tangible memory of your day in the forest.
An immersive experience that blends nature, culinary delight, and local knowledge, perfect for those curious about gastronomy, mushrooms, and the magic of Sintra.
