About this workshop
Vegetarian brunch workshop Algarve — join us at Figs on the Funcho for a hands-on cooking experience that brings vibrant Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours to a relaxed, shared brunch in the countryside.
During this small-group workshop, you’ll cook Ottolenghi-inspired vegetarian dishes with plenty of tips along the way. Then, you’ll sit down together beneath the carob trees to enjoy what you’ve made, often with a glass of Portuguese wine and an easy, unhurried pace.
Your experience highlights
- Cook Ottolenghi-inspired vegetarian dishes with bold, fresh flavours and practical techniques you can reuse at home.
- Learn Mediterranean diet principles by working with seasonal ingredients, balanced plates, and joyful cooking.
- Explore the stories behind the food, including links to Portugal’s spice-route history and wider Mediterranean influences.
- Share a celebratory brunch in a peaceful riverside setting, with good company and a sweet finish.
About your hosts
Your hosts, Graham and Cheryl, are passionate foodies who create flavour-led vegetarian and vegan cooking experiences in the Algarve. They design each menu around seasonal produce, inspired by chefs such as Yotam Ottolenghi, Sami Tamimi, and Ixta Belfrage.
Because they source locally wherever possible, each session feels rooted in place. So, alongside cooking skills, you’ll also leave with fresh ideas for combining ingredients, building flavour, and planning memorable vegetarian brunches.
Your schedule
11:00 – Arrive and settle in with coffee or tea. After that, we begin cooking together in our vegetarian celebration brunch workshop Algarve, preparing vibrant dishes inspired by the Mediterranean diet and Ottolenghi-style flavour building.
Brunch – Then, we sit down to enjoy your creations over a leisurely brunch/lunch beneath the carob trees, often with a glass of Portuguese wine. Finally, we finish with a light Mediterranean-style dessert.
15:00 – The workshop usually ends around 3:00pm, so you’ll head off with new skills, recipe inspiration, and delicious memories.
