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.

Ten Years
My eyes fluttered open at four o’clock in the morning and I found myself waking to the awareness of the brevity of life, my mortality and the mystery of it all. A slightly uncomfortable feeling washed over me, a sadness. It was then that I remembered that it was the...
Blueberry Peach Cobbler
I awkwardly twirled and swayed, feeling every bit of my fifty-three years. Pretty people, mostly in their twenties and thirties, rocked about me shouting and whistling, urging the guitarist, my husband, on with his riff of fingers moving fast and furious across the...
