I love following your recipes. As I age I come to realize just how much I miss my culture and especially my vovó‘S cooking. Thank you for sharing these recipes we grew up with. I know it won’t taste just like our vovó use to but at least we can cook it for ourselves and our families. Thank you for helping us keep our heritage alive.

Hello. I normally do not ever comment.
I want to thank you for keeping our food culture alive. You truly make a difference. Thank you very much. As I grow older, I realize how much I miss my island and how beautiful they are. Have a blessed day.

Curious on the history of this recipe and what makes it Azorean vs. a mainland Portuguese dish?
