Pastry with Goat Cheese, Spinach, Beetroot and Mango

Your blog is one to awe! There aren’t enough breakfast blogs out there and your one is really one to admire! You bring flavours and recipes from different places and I think that’s what makes it stand out! Mango and beetroot would not seem like the likely combination, ill have to try it! E.C

Hi, amazing recepie!—
I’m sooo glad to be here. I’ve been looking for your blog a while because “i lost” the link somehow… since now I promice I will be here regularly!

What a lovely story to read 🙂 … This is just the beginning of your motherhood adventure 🙂 and thank you for sharing such a great recipe ! I am a sucker for a quick food, especially after a long and busy day at work! Love, x

Superwoman indeed. And this tart is a work of art. So beautiful.

Oh, these photos are stunning, Marta! And I so enjoyed reading this post… Yay! I’m so glad that you were able to juggle all your responsibilities so elegantly. And I bet Mia’s first roll was just too cute :DWhat a delicious looking recipe! I must try this soon.

This looks beyond delicious! I’ve never heard of putting beet and mango together before, but i am drooling at the thought. Way to go, blogging and taking care of a baby alone!

Lisbon is great! It will likely be raining. Go to Pastéis de Belém and eat everything. Their toast is absolutely delicious. It’s probably going to be full of tourists, so try to guess which hours/days are less likely to have an army of them. Sometimes they’re just queuing outside for a pastel, and there’s no one inside in the tables, and you can just sit and ask for one anyway, doesn’t cost more! A latte is a “galão”, in some places you have to ask “de máquina” to get one with a freshly poured espresso.
“A Padaria Portuguesa” has the best “pão de deus” ever made. It’s a sort of brioche bread with a coconut based paste.
If an espresso costs more than 0.7e, and the place isn’t a hotel, a super famous “pastelaria” (patisserie), or the price for sitting outside (things are usually more expensive if you sit outside), don’t go there.
There are lots of great Indian/Mozambican/Angolan restaurants from people who moved to Portugal during/after the colonial war. “O Cantinho do Aziz” is a great one.
Sintra is a little town one hour away from Lisbon, with castles and mansions and giant gardens. The Pena Palace (“Palácio da Pena”) is the best known one, you can get tickets for just the gardens and the outside of the Palace or for everything. I usually just go for the gardens 🙂 They’re amazing. “Quinta da Regaleira” is next to it and I like it even more. It has tunnels connecting different parts of the gardens and all! But maybe Mia won’t think they’re that interesting? The local pastry is called “travesseiro” and Piriquita usually has them straight out of the oven, still warm. It’s also crowded on tourist rush hours, but there’s two of them for your convenience 🙂
Best burgers are from Honorato, there are several of them in the city.
Cascais is another town close to Lisbon, and by the sea, not the river. It’s a lovely place to walk around, full of little shops, cafés, and spots where you can sit and look at the ocean.
There are restaurants with Fado nights, where someone will be singing after dinner.Ok, I’m going to stop now :)Oh, I don’t know how you carry Mia around, but Lisbon is very hilly, the streets are small, the sidewalks smaller, all in cobblestone with random stones missing. Not very friendly for baby strollers.
