What is Leite de Creme?

“Leite Creme” is a Portuguese traditional desert similar to French Cream Brûlée but cooked on the stove top instead of baked.

It’s rich, creamy texture is perfect as a light and low fat dessert.

My dear grandmother, who took care of me and my brother when we were little, often used to cook steak with mushrooms. We loved it and always asked for a second plate.

This is my vegan version of my grandmother’s recipe.

Note: Of course, it will never be as good as grandma’s (grandma’s recipes are and will be always superior).

Chocolate Salame

The perfect crunchy treat to snack on. A festive and simple dessert to serve or bring to your next holiday party–or to give as gifts this year.

What´s Chocolate Salame? Chocolate Salame is a Portuguese dessert made from cocoa, biscuits, and a bit of port wine or rum. Some varieties also contain chopped nuts, such as almonds, or hazelnuts and may be shaped like truffles. In Portugal, they are typically made using Marie Cookies. But, since Marie Cookies are not vegan, I used Tostadas Cookies. If you are having trouble finding vegan substitutes for Marie Cookies, you can use digestive cookies.

Peixinhos da Horta is a traditional dish in Portuguese cuisine. The name of the dish is literally translated as “Little garden fishes”, as it resembles small pieces of fish. It was introduced to Japan by Portuguese sailors in the sixteenth century, where it was eventually developed into tempura.
