Since I found a recipe for Pulled pork in the pressure cooker that we become kind of obsessed with it! So almost other week I buy a nice piece of pork shoulder, pull out my precious pressure cooker from the cupboard and begin the most easy recipe you could find. The problem is that I…

BBQ ribs, pork belly and sausages
Summer in my house means lot’s of meals on the BBQ – I’ve been trying to get some decent photos so I could show you what happens in my back yard but everything happens so fast that it’s been a struggle 🙂 but finally I can show you our BBQ ribs, pork belly and sausage….
Italian lasagna made in Portugal
We had 3 different nationalities sitting around our Xmas table this year. And I wanted all three countries represented also in the food. I have showed you Portuguese dishes, Maltese dishes and now I’m adding another dish from the other country: Italian lasagna… made by my boyfriend! Yes, you know he cooks, so he wanted…
Rigatoni Pie
Having an Italian boyfriend means a lot of pasta dishes are prepared in my kitchen. If I give him the choice, we would have pasta almost everyday. Don’t take me wrong, I love pasta, but I also love other foods and to try new recipes. During one of these moments when I really wanted to…
Breaded pork chops in the oven
Another very well known recipe but I decided to cook it in a different way: breaded pork chops in the oven. Usually, breaded chops are deep fried but I really don’t like frying food – not healthy and the smell stays in the house for days. And honestly, I never manage to get it as…

This Duck breast with Orange Risotto is one of my favourite recipes… I had never tried to cook duck breast like this until recently and I’m starting to get it just right 🙂 Back home I would have it like this if eating out but, at home, duck was only used to make the most…
Chicken Legs roasted Indian style with Lemon Couscous
I have always been a fan of Indian Food – mainly curries… My mum introduced it in our diet when she found a ready made curry powder that you only needed to add milk and dinner was done. Typical of my mother, anything to make cooking easy and fast. But guess what? It was quite…
Pork tenderloin medallions with Port Wine sauce
This is one of my favourite recipes (so far) for Pork tenderloin medallions with Port Wine sauce. Pork tenderloins are a great piece of meat but I find it to be so easy to over cook it. Unfortunately, I have been through that agony: slicing what seemed to be a perfect piece of heaven only…
Homemade Hamburgers
Oh who doesn’t like good burgers in the bun? Specially if they are nice, juicy homemade hamburgers? And I’m not talking about the some restaurants “claim” to be homemade – I’m talking about the real thing – the one you make with your own little hands 🙂 Every so often I feel like having a…
