As “Explorers of the World”, the Portuguese gathered, traded and mastered a mesmerizing bouquet of spices, flavors and tecnique's.
In keeping with tradition, we hope to ignite your senses, while taking you on a cultural and culinary journey, as we share with you, not only amazing food passed on from generation to generation but also an authentic cultural experience.
Growning up Luso-American in a traditional Portuguese home had its share of challenges, I wouldn't exactly say I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, it was more of a wooden spoon.
My father, being a Lobsterman and Chef, showed me the ropes, so to speak, he actually showed me the ropes on the lobster pots and the backside of many cooking pots, he would often say “you need to know where your food comes from”, I didn't appreciate his words way back when, gratefully they had the intended impact and today, I no longer fish for lobsters with my father but carry his words through my cooking.
