What’s my story? Born in Portugal, I soon learnt to uproot myself when I started my nomad life in Sri Lanka as a student. I left the UK with a backpack for a 6 month internship and ended up leaving 6 years later with a French husband, toddler, a baby on the way, and a container full of furniture to start a new chapter in Brazil. A container continued to follow us after each country, packed with ever more furniture, art, antiques, baskets, linens and handicrafts collected along the way, which made for a comfortable and familiar home away from home, for the family wherever we landed.

After making a full circle from Europe through Asia, South America, East and West Africa back to my birthplace Portugal, my experiences have been filled with colours, tastes and flavours from different cultures shared with some incredible people. These have also fired my passion for food and love of creating fusions of dishes sprinkled with herbs and spices from around the world. Cooking is my therapy, it gives me something to smile about each day and I hope to those who eat my food!
