New foodie from Lisbon, Portugal...

Hello Folks!

 

I am exciting to participate in this forum. 

 

You can expect a lot of interest in food and wine.

Love to understand how culture and history made food gradually evolve to the current status of ambivalence. Where the ultimate sophistication is paired with lack of knowledge and deeper understanding. Hopefully more and more people can appreciate food as an hedonistic experience without the guilt that sometimes is associated...

 

Here is one of my favorite dishes (and I have many).

 

I like to slightly cure this ribs on a salt and spice mix....and have them slow cook in the oven.

The meat easily gets of the bones...

Greetings!  Like @Kim Shook I love to live vicariously through others.  Any chance we might be seeing some seafood and rice and piri piri chicken and egg tarts?

Cook on!!!!

 I'm so glad that you have joined us. I've never been to Portugal but I have long been fascinated by the food and the rich culinary history of the area. Those ribs look marvelous. I hope you will enjoy being here with us. Please tell us a little more about you. Do you cook professionally or do you, like so many of us here, cook for the love of it?
