One ingredient I connect with warm Autumny days is butter. Smothered on freshly made toast, used to sautée some mushrooms or to finish a dish for added creaminess and richness. YUM! It is something I don’t have as much of these days, so I want to share with you...

So, it’s official – at least in sunny Lisbon – Autumn has finally arrived. Cloudy days, rainy mornings, leaves everywhere, shorter afternoons and that cold crisp breeze are all here to stay. Cold season is not my favourite but, with that said, there...

End of Summer vibes, for me, is all about using up the last tomatoes, ripe to their finest, and cooking them with everything and anything. Just sliced, sprinkled with sea salt and drizzled with olive oil? Perfection. Added to a fresh salad? Delicious. Blended into a...

I’ve always wanted to have the traditional Southern American style Cornbread recipe. Rich and decadent, the original recipe usually asks for ingredients I don’t tipically use in my kitchen, so I decided to develop a healthier version, with whole flours and...

So… Let’s just say that Summer in Portugal has been a little shy this year. We’ve had cold, rain and crazy winds ever since I can remember now. If, by any chance, you don’t know Portugal, let me just tell you we are known for having +320 days...

These are, without a doubt, my favourite type of savoury crackers: slightly salty, scrumptiously crumbling, easily adaptable and quick to make. They always make me think of Liz, my dear friend who taught me the basic recipe. She is from central England and loves a...

When I was a little girl, in school, I spent sooo many hours during recess picking “honey flowers”, separating the end of the flower to get to a thin little style from where, literally, dropped a drop of a sweet and floral nectar, that I loved so much and...
