Thank you so much!
On a side note, Lidia is my favorite too!!
It reminds me of being with my family in the kitchen.

I am a 2nd generation American of Portuguese/Italian descent who grew up in Warren, RI. My Mom (Italian) was a great cook who learned many Portuguese recipes from my Dad’s Mom, which my siblings and I still enjoy making and eating. Our version of Portuguese Soup is made with chourico, dark and light kidney beans, cabbage, collard greens, and potatoes. The cabbage and the collards stay crunchy, and add a slight sweetness to the soup overall.

I really enjoy your videos, and like you, I am a big fan of Lidia–she cooks like my family cooks–simply, flavorfully, and intuitively. Just wanted to say hello, and thank you for all you do to promote Portuguese flavor and heritage.

Warmly,
Janet
