Nourishing recipes for everyday meals and special occasions
Rustic Apple Galette
This rustic apple galette has quickly become one of my favorite fall and winter bakes. Unlike a traditional pie, which demands precision and patience, a galette is forgiving—a free-form tart meant to look delightfully imperfect. Fold, pleat, and let it be. In return,...

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.

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.
