Lemon And Artichoke Fettuccine
The Memory of Lemons It’s fascinating how scents and flavors affect our brains. They can spark memories and emotions in an instant; the whiff of a rose reminds us of a garden, or the smell of bread baking pulls us back to a cozy kitchen. For me, Lemon and Artichoke...

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.

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.

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,...
