Although I didn't start cooking until I got out of college, it's something I absolutley LOVE to do and fortunately those around me think it was a greaty hobby to acquire. I'm Portuguese, born in the Azores, but unfortunately don't know how to cook too much Portuguese food. If anyone has any traditional Portuguese recipes to share, please do!!
