I was born in the Alentejo, Portugal, and it is my roots that inspire me in the search for the flavors, perfumes and textures for the recipes that I have developed for many gastronomic magazines and books. I am a publisher, food developer and editor of several publications and food developer, cook and manager of a different catering service at In Love with Food and Maria's Table. I am also coordinator of food workshops and showcooking held for various parish councils and municipal councils in the country. I am the author and co-author of several books on food and nutrition.

One of the most delicious starters in Portuguese cuisine, and one that is essential to lead to a meal packed with aromas and flavours. The recipe of the snack is said to have been first published in Carlos Bento da Maia’s 1904 cookbook Tratado de Cozinha e Copa. One thing is certain: they are here to stay.

Main dish

Caldeirada à fragateira

Nazaré has much more to offer besides the canyon and massive waves. Besides magical places, welcoming people and magnificent legends, there is also the fabulous Caldeirada à Fragateira, a dish that could only come from a seaside town. It is made with many different kinds of fish and a unique seasoning. Your palate will be filled with an ocean of flavours.

Dessert

Portuguese-style crème brulée

It is said to come originally from late-seventeenth century France and England. Still, it became a staple of Portugal, and a must-have in celebrations – as well as other occasions. It deserves to be prominent, for it is an absolute creamy delight with an indispensable sticky burnt-sugar crust. True passion.

Coffee & Oporto wine

The Portuguese perfect way to finish your meal.

Drinks & Beverages

What to expect

Fantastic experience. Maria and Luis were wonderful hosts for this experience! To start, we went to the local market with Maria to pick out the food we'd be cooking - it was very nice to pick out the main fish/meat ourselves, and she was very good at making sure we were choosing food we were going to enjoy preparing/eating. When back at the house, we prepared the meal as a team (as we had hoped). We learned a few new tricks, but most of all how few ingredients you need to make a great meal if everything is fresh. While we were preparing the meal, Luis, a talented photographer, took photos of us (looking forward to seeing how they turned out). Finally, we sat down and enjoyed the fruits of our labour over a glass of wine and enjoyed each other's company. Maria and Luis were great to speak with about Lisbon, their family, food/Portuguese cuisine and of course football (not American football). We could not have asked for a better experience, and would like to thank Maria and Luis very much! Obrigado!

Wow it was great! Maria Antonia is very intelligent, warm hearted and well prepared cook. We enjoyed discovering a real Portugese market and cooking together! During the meal we discussed a lot of things about Portugal, culture, customs, life and of course learned how to cook a real Portugese meal. Maria's place is wonderful and her husband is an intelligent and beautyful host. Thaks for the great adveture. I definitely suggest everyone to choose Maria!

地元の市場で買い物をしてから、マリアの自宅で丁寧に作り方を説明してもらいながら、ポルトガル料理を作りました。ワインやレモネードも美味しくおすすめのプログラムです。

It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with, cook, drink and eat with Maria Antonia and her husband Luis! I highly recommend this experience! The food we cooked was so delicious. They put on an amazing experience for us, going above and beyond expectations. Many thanks to you again!
