FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do the 1-to-1 online classes work?

Our sessions are strictly private, 1-to-1 experiences. This allows for a tailored curriculum focused on your specific skill level and culinary goals. Whether you are a home cook or a professional, the session is conducted live via a digital platform, ensuring you have the chef's full attention for the duration of the class.

I am a hospitality professional. How do you tailor the training?

For industry professionals, we skip the basics. We begin with a Professional Discovery Interview to identify your business objectives—whether it’s menu engineering for a new concept, technical training, or operational scaling. This allows us to adapt the consultancy strictly to your operational requirements.

How do I choose what to cook in my session? Once your booking is confirmed, you will be provided with a Signature Menu of Brazilian classics to choose from. If you have a specific dish or technique in mind that is not on the menu, you can submit a custom request during the inquiry process. We will review your request to ensure it can be mastered effectively within the session.

Do you offer consultancy for "Lean Café" or "Gastro Bar" models?

Yes. We specialize in developing efficient, high-margin Brazilian food concepts. Our consultancy focuses on "The Lean Model"—standardizing recipes to reduce waste and complexity while maintaining 100% authentic flavor, making it easier to scale your operation globally.

What if I cannot find specific Brazilian ingredients in my region?

Authenticity is about technique and soul. For every session, we provide a Customized Ingredient Map. We specialize in adapting traditional recipes to your local market, identifying high-quality alternatives that preserve the core flavor and authentic texture of the dish. You will learn to achieve a true Brazilian result using the ingredients available exactly where you are.

Can I book a private virtual event for a corporate group?

Yes. While our primary focus is 1-to-1, we design bespoke Virtual Culinary Events for groups. These are treated as custom projects where we coordinate the menu and the digital experience based on your specific needs.

Do I need professional-grade kitchen equipment?

While we occasionally discuss professional techniques, most classes are designed for a standard kitchen setup. If a specific tool (like a pressure cooker or blender) is required, it will be clearly listed in your preparation guide.

Can I book a private virtual event for a corporate group?

Yes. While our primary focus is 1-to-1, we design bespoke Virtual Culinary Events for groups. These are treated as custom projects where we coordinate the menu and the digital experience based on your specific needs.

How much do the classes and consultancy services cost?

Because every request is unique—ranging from a single private lesson to long-term professional menu development—prices are provided upon request. Once you submit your inquiry, we will provide a bespoke quote tailored to the scope of your project.

How do we coordinate the time zone for our session?

As a strictly web-based platform, we operate globally across all international time zones. When you submit your inquiry, please provide your Primary Time Zone. We will propose a selection of time slots that align with your local schedule to ensure a seamless experience.

Can you accommodate specific dietary needs (Gluten-Free/Vegan)?

Absolutely. Many iconic Brazilian dishes are naturally gluten-free (using cassava or corn). For private classes and menu development, we can adapt traditional recipes to be vegan or allergen-friendly while maintaining the integrity of the dish.
