WELCOME TO A NOURISHED LIFE
I’m Eva, a cook, writer, and lifelong seeker of the good life, living along Portugal’s windswept coast. Here, I share mostly plant-based, often gluten-free recipes that nourish both body and spirit, along with reflections on healing, aging, and intentional living.

Lately, I’ve been craving a sweet treat with fall flavors. One of my favorite autumn desserts is my Norwegian Apple Cake, but I also wanted a gluten-free, low-glycemic option in my repertoire. After some experimentation, I came up with this delicious Gluten-Free Spice Cake.
