  1. Maria Fernandes

    Adorei fazer o curso Nível 1! 🎉 Foi uma experiência incrível e espero conseguir voltar para o Nível 2 em breve. O Ricardo e a Mila foram espetaculares, 5 ⭐️! A parte da cozinha também merece destaque: equipa super simpática 👏 e comida deliciosa 😋. Seria ótimo se fosse possível realizar mais do que um trabalho prático, mas, mesmo assim, foi uma experiência enriquecedora. Obrigado a toda a equipa! 🙌
