An avid cook, Maria started to cook at the tender age of 8 years old in her home country Portugal.
Fascinated with customs and traditions, the traditional Portuguese cuisine has always been her favourite.

Maria's mom was a good cook and taught Maria many dishes however, it was in her mid twenties she started to acquire even more knowledge of "a cozinha do povo" (the people's gastronomy) and developed it to suit today's needs and with health concerns in mind.

"Portugal at your Table" is a medley of original recipes from different regions of Portugal and Maria's own recipes. You will also find information on Foods with Medicinal Properties, Herbs, Table Etiquette, Every day Tidbits, Good Nutrition Chart, Table Settings and the History behind more famous recipes.

"Portugal at your Table" will be available to purchase at the end of October 2011, just in time to get a head start on your Christmas shopping!
