Influenced by my family and friends, who have been encouraging me to write a food blog for sometime, I have decided it is time to start one now.
Let me start by letting you know a little bit about myself. I was born in Portugal on the beautiful Island of Terceira in the Azores and lived there until my early teens. I grew up surrounded by old cobble stone streets, red tile roofs, kitchens with large stone ovens where women would bake their own sour dough bread each week and huge sweet breads for the holidays. Lets not forget the bull fights which are the craze for one week each year. Most important is the local cuisine which is rich and with strong Mediterranean influence.
I love cooking and baking traditional Portuguese dishes, but I also love French cuisine like traditional dishes: such as onion soup, Bouef Bourguignon, and many others as well as french pastries cakes and cookies.
I will try to post some photos of the dishes I prepare along the way. I also hope you get inspired to try some of my recipes and let me know how they turned out. Thank you so much for stopping by.
