Jardineira – a Portuguese peasant dish

May 11, 2021 martaLeave a comment

Hi again! After a (too long) break, I decided to share with you a family recipe. It was originally conceived as a sort of a peasant dish, as people would use the cheapest cuts of meat and whatever vegetables they had in season. The name literally means "gardener"! Traditionally, you would use beef, potatoes, and… Continue reading Jardineira – a Portuguese peasant dish

Scrumptious Chicken

February 19, 2021 martaLeave a comment

Hello again! It's been a crazy couple of weeks. But now I'm back, and I wanted to share with you my roast chicken. It's sometimes said that the simple dishes are the ones that really speak about the chef; and a simple, roast chicken is one of those dishes. Again, this is not a proper… Continue reading Scrumptious Chicken

Mum’s Fish Rice

January 22, 2021 martaLeave a comment

Hello again! This time I have for you a delicious fish recipe! This is actually my mum's recipe. After many years looking for the best one, I've come to the conclusion that hers is actually the very best! (Thanks Mum!)

(Really) Slow Cooked Pork

January 19, 2021 martaLeave a comment

Hello again! This week in "Using meat I have in the freezer and is about to go bad", we had a huge piece of pork loin. Loin can be a bit tricky to cook, because it can come out very tough and dry, very easily. We took a piece and cut it into very thin… Continue reading (Really) Slow Cooked Pork

Broccoli Beef with Teriyaki Sauce

Hello again! This week I had some beef to use, but I forgot to put it in the slow cooker. So I decided to improvise! Also, I had some broccoli that was still good but had started to wilt. What I'm saying is that you can adapt this recipe to fit your needs, maybe try… Continue reading Broccoli Beef with Teriyaki Sauce

Everyone’s Favourite Quiche

December 17, 2020 martaLeave a comment

Hi again! So this week my boss asked me to make her a quiche (and I love to help out with cooking). It's a little arrangement we have: when someone comes over, or she just doesn't feel like cooking but also doesn't want to have pre-made food, I make her a quiche. Over time, I… Continue reading Everyone’s Favourite Quiche

A No-Brainer Meal

November 25, 2020 martaLeave a comment

Hi again! I'm sorry for disappearing last week. But this week I come back with a bang - my go-to, stress-free, no-brainer chicken in a mushroom creamy sauce! It's been a favourite of mine for many years now, because 1) it's quick, 2) it's easy, 3) it's very affordable, and 4) so far everyone I've… Continue reading A No-Brainer Meal

My Fail-Proof Lasagna

November 4, 2020 martaLeave a comment

Hi again! This week I thought of posting something a little different from the usual - that's right! FOOD! Last weekend I had my parents over for lunch, and since everyone is cutting on food intake and calories (hello, COVID), I thought I'd give them something a bit more indulgent. From the depths of my… Continue reading My Fail-Proof Lasagna
