Portuguese cuisine is in the midst of a moment. After decades of looking toward the more famous cuisines of its European brethren (France, Italy) as the pinnacle of high gastronomy, the little Iberian Nation. Having said that, Portugal’s dishes are exceptionally different —from freshest seafood, mouth watering pastries and Porto’s famous Sandwich, Francesinha – which I made a video of, this makes Portuguese food can certainly be considered culinary hits.

Even if you know next to nothing about the cuisine of Portugal, you’re likely familiar with the country’s most famous dessert, Pastel de nata (custard tart), a tiny and decadent Portuguese egg tart that some might say is the most satisfying wallop of sweet, sweet wow you’ll ever get for €1.15. Known generically around the world as pastel de nata, it’s protected as pastel de Belém at Antiga Confeitaria de Belém, where it is said to have originated in the Lisbon suburbs in 1837. The original recipe is under lockdown, passed on by the monks at the UNESCO-listed Jerónimos Monastery nearby, but the secret is in the textural yin-and-yang between the creamy egg custard filling and the flaky pastry shell. Powdered sugar and/or cinnamon is sprinkled over the top according to taste.

Aside from sharing my insights about the living conditions and opening a discussion of life here in Estonia as a foreigner, I am a travel junkie who has been to more than 40 countries. I have been to several beautiful countries and great cities here in Europe, so if you want to see some of my recent videos, you can find the links below:
