No mint, no soda, just lime, sugar, ice,
Feijoada is more than just a stew. It’s Brazil’s national dish, a comforting and hearty blend of beans, pork, and chorizo simmered to perfection.

What’s Christmas without a show-stopping dish for Noche Buena? This year, I decided to take on the challenge of making Porchetta, along with Lamb Kabsa, but with a Filipino twist.
