GASTRONOMY
FELIPE
by himself
Being a scout and doing theater helped me a lot to deal with dyslexia, because those are activities that stimulate creativity and action, unlike orthodox teaching methods.
But it was gastronomy that transformed my life, it was where I found my passion and my way of expression.
Mia Couto says that “cooking is not a service, it's a way of loving others”, and I absolutely agree.
Cooking is an art, it's a form of expression, it's poetry to be tasted! Food is linked to memory, celebrations and moments. It's gastronomy that keeps me creative and active and that made me overcome my difficulties.
