read moreOlive Oil Butter
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...

read moreRoast Tomato Chickpea Pasta
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...
read moreOlive Oil Cornbread
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...

read moreCucumber and Melon Cold Soup
I love cold soups in the Summer. In our home, as a little girl, we always used all the ripe tomatoes to make either Gazpacho or cold tomato soup, that we garnished with egg crumbs, croutons and chopped herbs. A few years ago, I started to travel and try other recipes...

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...

When I first booked this trip to Bali, I wanted to get to knwo the whole island, north and south, east and west, and even add a few extra islands to the plan, if possible. These plans fell apart the first few hours I stepped a foot on the island. The truth is, I was...
