Recipes with Stories

Food is more than just nourishment – it’s memory, culture, and emotion served on a plate. In Stories, I share the moments behind the meals: the childhood memories stirred by a certain spice, the lessons learned in a bustling kitchen, or the quiet joy of a recipe passed down through generations.

Whether it’s the first dish I ever mastered, a cooking mishap that turned into a family tradition, or the flavors that remind me of home, these stories invite you into the heart of why I cook.

Take Encruzado Wine for example, discovering the quiet elegance of a Portuguese white that now accompanies some of my most cherished meals. Or Fish in My Life, a reflection on how the sea and its offerings shaped not only my cooking but who I am today.

Pull up a chair – these aren’t just stories, they’re pieces of my life, told one dish at a time.
