At @austa_resta in the Algarve, with João Rodrigues, Mexican chef @karylmt
and resident chef @davidfbarata , for another dinner from the @residencia_joaorodrigues
Launched by @jmrodrigues , chef owner of @restaurantecanalha and his wife @vavar in 2023 as part of the @projectomateria , this initiative is now in its second season and continues to raise awareness of the various Portuguese regions, their local products, their people and their rich gastronomic heritage, while sharing knowledge through collaboration between local and international chefs.
It is a significant contribution to the mapping of what our culinary culture has to offer.
Because without knowledge, good cuisine is impossible; without sharing, history is lost; without the past, there can be no progress; and without interaction and experimentation, original thinking and creativity cannot flourish.

Some of the dishes in these pictures:
Pastita, cuttlefish roe from Olhão, caviar (Karime Lopez)
Quinta do Freixo lamb, Ria Formosa Angulata oyster, corn (David Barata)
Pork presa, smoked eel, green pepper (João Rodrigues)
Pork Terrine, Algarvian violet shrimp, fig (João Rodrigues)
John Dory from Sagres, salsa verde, achiote (Karime Lopez)
Purple corn tostada, Carabineiro from Vila Real Santo António, Salsa Macha-Pesto (Karime Lopez)
