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.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Honey Oat Bread

Honey Oat Bread

I've heard from a number of people who say they are finding bread hard to come by these days. Bread is such an easy staple to make if you have three things - water, flour, yeast (or a sourdough starter). I haven't had trouble finding yeast or flour in stores, so I...

Arugula, Sweet Potato and Quinoa Salad

Arugula, Sweet Potato and Quinoa Salad

This is a nutrient dense salad made with spicy arugula, sweet potato, quinoa (a complete vegan protein), and dried cranberries. I like to serve it on individual plates but you can also toss all of the ingredients into a large bowl and serve it family style.
