Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon
Memories from My Kitchen I used to toil away late into the evening in the back of my little store, cooking in a small kitchen with nothing more than an apartment-sized electric oven and a few well-loved tools. After a long day with customers, I’d sweep the floors,...

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.
To me, a nourished life means living with presence and grace. It’s a quiet walk by the sea, a meaningful conversation, and the joy of both the salad and the slice of cake.

Spinach Risotto with Mushrooms
We’re looking forward to more cooler days, fall colors, and cherished family gatherings over the next few months. We’re also indulging in simple yet substantial warming meals.

Jammy Soft-Boiled Eggs
Topping a dish with a perfectly timed, jammy, soft-boiled egg adds nutrients and protein and can elevate the meal to a new, rich level.
Gluten-Free Spice Cake
Many of us have a sweet tooth, but we’re also aware that excessive sugar isn’t healthy. I believe in a balanced approach to life where desserts are occasional indulgences, not daily sustenance. 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.
