The Best Cooking Classes to Try in Macau

Mighty Greens Macau

We’ve mastered the art of cooking instant noodles during the lockdown period but the kitchen game amongst our friends and acquaintances has since been more competitive with social media feeds filled with baking enthusiasts and chef wannabes. And we can’t deny it, we’re keen to learn more and broaden our recipe repertoire. If you’re looking to level up via cooking classes in Macau, this round-up is a mix of lessons that are perfect for adults and kids.

Mighty Greens Macau

Mighty Greens Macau is the first and only local urban farm in our city. We’ve been following their page since we discovered their microgreens. Prepare to be impressed by their sustainable lifestyle initiatives and advocacy. We also love that they supply their produce to Caffé B, one of our favorite Italian restaurants making healthy eating possible as part of our daily meals.

They’ve recently launched a Green Summer Camp which has an amazing line-up of activities for children to learn a lot about sustainability. They’ve also incorporated a variety of workshops about farming, cooking, and great sustainable solutions to empower the young generation for a greener future.

Macanese style chicken by Chef Neta Manhão cooking classes in Macau

Macanese style chicken by Chef Neta Manhão

Neta Club

Through the classes held by Chef Neta Manhão at her Neta Club cooking studio, attendees get to learn how to master the skills of what might well be the first fusion food of the world from someone who knows it first hand. Classes usually take around two and a half hours and accommodate a minimum of four and a maximum of seven people. Expect to learn how to prepare two Macanese dishes such as minchi and capela (sort of a meatloaf made with cheese and olives topped up with bacon before baking in the oven) or Macanese chicken from scratch.

To book your spot, you may request the schedule in advance to check the designated dates on which specific dishes are taught. Alternatively, you may gather a group of people and request Chef Neta to guide you through the Macanese dishes of your choice. This could be a great team-building experience or gift for the foodie in your life. The cherry on top? In the end, you get to enjoy the flavorsome fare you’ve prepared without rush at the studio’s dining room, which is located in a charming colonial-style building in St. Lazarus, just steps away from a UNESCO heritage landmark, the St. Lazarus Church.
