My inspiration was my mom. She's a great cook, and she still cooks, and we still banter back and forth about cooking. Growing up in a mostly Portuguese community, food was important and the family table was extremely important. At a very young age I understood that. ↗

I grew up in Fall River, Massachusetts. My background was modest, and I worked at a Portuguese bakery in town. ↗

My food is Louisiana, New Orleans-based, well-seasoned, rustic. I think it's pretty unique because of my background being influenced by my mom, Portuguese and French Canadian. There's a lot going on there. ↗

Portugal is a high hill with a white watch tower on it flying signal flags. It is apparently inhabited by one man who lives in a long row of yellow houses with red roofs, and populated by sheep who do grand acts of balancing on the side of the hill. ↗

Soon after I was born, my parents moved to the South Florida area, and I've lived here ever since (with a few years of living in both Portugal and Brazil in my younger days). ↗

Era deste jaez (feliz palavra árabe, cada vez menos usada e cujo significado vem em todos os dicionários e bela expressão tão rafada em tempo de letras mais bojudas, que qualquer escritor, com uma única excepção, hesitaria em usá-la), era deste jaez, dizia (fórmula de repetição também recuperada do arsenal literário e que se destina a evitar que a atenção do leitor se distraia e comece a pensar noutras coisas, nanja no essencial), dizia (embora antes seja meu dever chamar a atenção para este magnífico "nanja", que não é de origem japonesa, mas sim de etimologia facilmente descortinável) e tendo-me eu esquecido da continuação da frase vou retomá-la, desde o início com vossa licença. ↗
