This is the culinary world of Madeira! The portuguese kitchen varies from mediterranean fish dishes to rustic meat delicacies. In Madeira, the sweet potato, seafood, bolo do caco (typical bread from the locality) and the fried corn milho frito are part of the daily basis. And as desert or snack there is a range of sweet and exotic fruits such as passion fruit, banana (which is highly cultivated on the island), papaya, mango avocado and cherimoya fruit.
Sweets and deserts The bolo de mel, honey cake, is made with sugar syrup and dried fruits. It is traditionally consumed during Christmas season. The consistency is hard and dry but it has a very sweet flavour. Mmmhhmmm... getting hungry? ;) You can find most of the recipes of the above mentioned dishes on the internet, they are very easy!
Which of these dishes or deserts would you like to try? What is your favourite fruit?

Why do I need to see these things when I badly needed one and it's impossible for me to get a grab somewhere? This is one of my favorite snack. In fact there was a time in my life where I thought I won't last a day without it. Then I started juicing vegetables and getting slightly healthier. Most people get rid of their food cravings completely but me if I see this on my table even if it's a day old or two, I will still eat it. Maybe I am this hungry as of the moment that's why I can say these things. Thanks to the very tempting photos.

As soon as my mother sees the food being shown and served here, she can't help herself for craving some of these. She even shouted out of excitement. I am literally laughing right now as I am writing this because I can't forget her priceless reaction. With this being said, I have decided to treat them on a restaurant tonight! As a matter of fact, I am will be staying here at my parents' place for a couple of days and I think tonight is the right time for me to have some quality time with them. Thanks for this.

I apologise for my late reply, but I really appreciated your comments and thoughts. Thank you very much! I hope you had a delightful time with your parents! Food is a culture and also brings people together, it’s always a good idea meeting friends for lunch or dinner. 8/13/2018 05:39:23 am
The beauty of this place is so rustic and homey. Your photos are amazing. But what really caught my attention is the chocolate cookie. As soon as I saw the Broas de mel's photo on your page, I told myself I should go to Madeira and buy a whole lot of this stuff! These cookies are perfect for Tiramisu! Usually the broas that I've been buying in the grocery downtown is just the regular one. This broas del mel will definitely add more chocolate flavor on my tiramisu. Thank you! By the way you look like Mandy Moore! :)

Thank you so much for your comment and for reading my blogs! I am glad to know that you got inspired ;-) Concerning the broas de mel, I have never tried adding them to a tiramisu, why not give it a try! But they do not have chocolate flavor, basically they are made of flour, eggs, butter and honey and they are quite hard in terms of firmness. Let me know how you liked the outcome of your tiramisu! 😁

People who are tired of sitting around doing stupid and lazy stuff and being tired of having gained so much weight and now have made up their minds that they will now try and go on and lose weight by running having a proper diet for it. "Beginner Running Shoes Overweight"
