Portuguese Christmas Dinner: Lagareiro Octopus and Pumpkin Cakes

Tradition is best celebrated in special dates like Christmas, where the table is filled with love and food. In Portugal, where I am from, Christmas is a moment to cook our best and most traditional recipes. Besides codfish, because there isn’t a Portuguese table at Christmas without codfish, there are other dishes that also celebrate the Portuguese culture. One of them is Lagareiro Octopus, an oven dish served with roasted potatoes and a very tender octopus. In this article I bring you this recipe and also another one, which is my favourite Portuguese delicacy for Christmas, Pumpkin Cakes. Merry Christmas and Bon Appetit!

Feitios Handmade Earrings

For my first article of 2022 I have the big honour to present a collection of handmade earrings from someone that I dearly know and truly inspires me by her strength and resilience. Her brand Feitios, is a result of dedication, passion and personal transformation. Feitios is a handmade earrings brand designed to empower women, because the founder Cat wants to be the voice of change for women that live everyday with real problems that no one cares about. With this strong motivation behind Feitios, I knew I had to spread the word and show off her beautiful earrings made of polymer clay.
