Cooking for Your Cycle Workshop

Cooking for your cycle workshop in Lisbon with Saskia, a four-hour hands-on cooking class at 66 euros exploring the four phases of the menstrual cycle and how food can support overall wellbeing through each one. Together you cook beautiful, plant-based and seasonal dishes inspired by each phase, share a meal, discover simple practices like seed cycling and leave with recipes and the knowledge to feel more connected to your body throughout the month. Led by private vegan chef, recipe developer and storyteller Saskia, whose approach to cooking is rooted in seasonal ingredients, whole foods and the belief that eating well should feel joyful, intuitive and deeply satisfying.

The menstrual cycle is not just about one week each month. It is a rhythm that influences energy, appetite, emotions and needs every single day, and this workshop is built around understanding and honouring that rhythm through food. Saskia combines practical nutrition with genuinely beautiful cooking, making complex topics feel approachable and inspiring in a shared and welcoming kitchen environment. You leave not only with delicious recipes but with a deeper connection to your body and greater confidence in the kitchen.
