This is a traditional Portuguese Cake that is very easy to make. Nowadays you can find Maria cookies in just about every supermarket, but if you have trouble, go to your local Hispanic or Asian market and you will for sure find it!

Pão de Ló - Portuguese Sponge Cake

Pão de Ló - Portuguese Sponge Cake by Sofia Reino

I have always loved this recipe, especially when one is able to cook in in such a way that the middle part is still wet. I have always been afraid of making this recipe as I am not the best at baking. But amazingly enough it came out perfect and I am very proud of myself.

Portuguese Grilled Sardines

Portuguese Grilled Sardines by ruth martins

It's barbecue time! It's barbecue time! Most people go for the traditional sausages, hamburgers, chicken thighs and legs. And if you're lucky, salmon! To me, real barbecues mean the smell of fresh fish and good quality meats. Ultimately, I starting missing Portuguese Sardines. They are the most traditional, most delicious…

I didnt make a large loaf this time. Instead I made small ciabatta shaped litlle loaves and rolls filled with juicy chorizo.

Frango à Brás - Chicken with potato sticks

Frango à Brás - Chicken with potato sticks by Sofia Reino

This is a typical Portuguese recipe inspired by another (Bacalhau à Brás) I grew up with. Our family does not care much for chicken breast. We all go for the dark meat. So this is the perfect recipe to finish up that white meat no-one will eat. Another benefit is that the chicken breast of just on chicken will feed 4 to 5 people!

Roasted Bell Peppers Salad - Salada de pimentos assados

Roasted Bell Peppers Salad - Salada de pimentos assados by Sofia Reino

This is a traditional Portuguese salad you will find in most restaurants, especially during the summer. It is very fresh and goes very well with all types of grilled fish. Another idea is to add canned tuna and some hard boiled egg and you have a beautiful summer meal!

Portuguese Roast Chicken Piri Piri

Portuguese Roast Chicken Piri Piri by ruth martins

In Portugal you see chicken being roasted on a electric spin roast constantly. They are marinated for hours previously and the spicy flavours sip into the flesh during the cooking process. Piri Piri is the spice of preference. This Spice gives the chicken an Amazing flavour!

Portuguese custard tarts ( pasteis de nata)

Portuguese custard tarts ( pasteis de nata) by Alida

If you have never tried this they are incredible. It won't be long before you will sink your teeth into another one, then another one.. and then you realise how many calories you have actually wolfed down! You need to dust the puff pastry in icing sugar to get them caramelised which will make them irresistible. They are best eaten…
