WELCOME TO A NOURISHED LIFE
I’m Eva, a cook, writer, and lifelong seeker of the good in 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.

Provencal Asparagus Tart

Apple and Cherry Pie Recipe
There is something comforting about the smell of an apple pie baking. The butter, cinnamon, apples, and sugar create a delicious blend of aromas that can make any space feel like home. Adding sweet cherries to make an Apple-Cherry Pie happened by chance, but it is now a delicious family favorite.
