Hi, I'm Olinda!
I was born and raised in Portugal. After graduating from university, I lived in America and the Middle East before moving back home after 10 years.
I've always enjoyed a good homemade meal. I am lucky enough to have grown up eating beautifully prepared Portuguese and Mediterranean food made by my grandmother and mother. Our local cuisine is all about simplicity, the quality of the ingredients, and slow cooking.
I love Portuguese and Mediterranean food, but I also enjoy experimenting with recipes from other cuisines or recipes I find online. I like adding my twist to make them tasty and healthy.
This blog is my personal creative project. I hope my recipes can help you prepare tasty and healthy meals in your daily life and that my travel experiences will reveal new and inspiring places that you might want to explore. All the recipes and photos are real, and the travel experiences I share are genuine.
