I learned most of my Portuguese cooking by watching my mother, not from written recipes. The problem is that “a little salt” and “cook until it looks right” are hard to pass on to younger people. I have started writing down family recipes with exact measurements, starting with caldo verde and simple fish stew. What family recipe do you think should be written down before it disappears?

For our family, I would write down pork vindaloo and also a simple Mangalorean fish curry. The key is not just ingredients, but sequence: when to fry the onions, when to add masala, and when to lower the heat. That is where the flavour changes.
