Hello I am Catarina

I was born in Rio de Janeiro, but have lived in Lisbon for almost 20 years. My passion for cooking and crafts didn’t come from watching my Mother or Grandmother cook. In fact, it arrived quite late. I still remember when I started living alone, and the only dish I mastered was pasta with canned tuna. 🙂 After a while, I bought a Thermomix and started taking more risks in the kitchen.

Over time I realized that I have a good hand for desserts. And as time went by I ventured out of the Thermomix and started doing them on my own.

But it wasn’t until I started dating my husband that everything changed. I started to try different and more complex dishes and discovered that I love to cook and entertain friends and family.

In August 2021 my first daughter was born and a new and fascinating love for crafts, table decoration, eating gifts, dinners, and themed events. People say it is temporary. I don’t know, but I will enjoy it while it lasts.

I don’t want this to be yet another recipe blog. My goal is to share my journey through the world of cooking, handicrafts, and decoration I will prove that even the most clumsy person ever (yeah, that’s me!) whit a little effort and dedication ca do amazing things!

I hope you like it!

Kisses,

Catarina
