Fig Focaccia
Recently, I decided to incorporate figs into my wine focaccia bread recipe, and it turned out to be a delicious success. In this recipe, figs are placed on top of the focaccia and lightly sprinkled with a pinch of sugar before baking. The result is a savory bread with sweet, slightly caramelized figs—a luscious mix of flavors that delights the palate.
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.

Healing Through Food
What we eat doesn’t just feed us, it informs our health, our energy, and even our mood. Rooted in both tradition and science, I believe food can be one of our most powerful tools for healing. 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.
