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.
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.

Living Well, Simply
What we choose each day—how we eat, move, rest, and connect—shapes our health, our energy, and even our mood. Rooted in both tradition and science, I believe these daily choices are powerful tools for cultivating wellbeing.
Food is an essential part of that. Some meals are pure joy and celebration, while others are created with nourishment in mind—both have their place in a life of balance and intention. As Michael Pollan wisely said, “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”
A well-lived life extends beyond the plate. It’s found in balance—in how we care for ourselves and how we savor the beauty of our meals, our surroundings, and the company we keep.

Apple and Mango Chutney Stuffing
Since I am a vegetarian, I'm always charged with making the meat-free dishes for Thanksgiving. I love stuffing and gravy, so I make vegetarian versions of both. Here is a simple recipe for a really delicious vegetarian stuffing that I used to make when I was a...
Roasted Squash, Red Onion and Pomegranate Salad
A Cozy Day for a Nourishing Salad The quiet was soft as snowfall, broken only by the sound of the cat’s gentle paws padding across the wood floor. It was the kind of morning made for lingering under blankets, curled up by the fire with a steaming latte warming your...
