It’s not like we don’t like the Autumn (lovely golden leafs, etc..) but let’s face it, it’s not easy saying goodbye to Summer and to effectively cope with this “transition”, we kind of immersed ourselves in a tasting frenzy: We’ll be focusing initially on the Douro region, and Beira Interior, with some fantastic tastings and dinners. Below […]

The boundaries between reality and imagination drawn by a line
Another conspiracy meeting and this time it’ll be a happy joint venture with our dearest “conspirator” partners: Gourmandisse. They act as magical sorcerers, searching the whole country for the best handmade delicacies, to combine unique and exquisite flavours.

There will be food, wine, and yes friends, there will be music: For the first gathering of the conspiracy we’ve challenged Jazz guitarist Ramiro Leite to lead and “orchestrate” the meeting’s musical plot.

Photo by Ilidia @maisacrequedoce Alfeizeirão has one of the most popular “pão-de-ló” (sponge cake) recipes in Portugal, and its fame expands far beyond the borders of the region where it is baked. Unlike other “Spong-cakes” this “Pão-de-Ló” is not dry, no Sir! Beneath it’s top crust lies a scrumptious egg crème filling that will knock-you-out of your […]
