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.

I’m so glad you’re here.

While some dishes are pure joy and celebration, many are created with wellness and nourishment in mind, supporting a life of balance, vitality, and intention.
