HI!

Welcome to My Portuguese Mother! This site was created to share my love for cooking and the inspirations behind it. Since I can remember the gathering place for my family was around the kitchen table. Whether it was doing my homework, having a meal with family or just watching TV, it happened all around the kitchen table.

This website’s name is inspired by my real life Portuguese mother, Lola. Growing up, my mom always went above and beyond for every meal. My mom would prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner from scratch, every single day. Her love always shined through her food, and I hope I do the same with mine.

This blog is fueled by sugar, home-cooked meals, Portuguese classics, and cocktails! Join me and Oliver (my golden retriever/Sous Chef) on this culinary adventure!
