FOOD for your eyes and palate - Comida para os olhos e boca!

Food is love! Food is friendship. Food is heritage. Food is life and a wonderful way to enjoy family, friends. It also gives us time to relax and enjoy privacy in our kitchens - away from the constraints of the world - enhanced by a nice glass of wine.

Food is often a sensual ingredient in our lives. I enjoy cooking and love to get into traditional recipes and give them a twist of my own. Here are 2 pics of my very own red been soup with kale, squash, patato and some pork.
Enjoy!!!
