When Tessa Kiros takes her family to live and travel in Portugal, she is captivated by the country and charmed by the old-fashioned way of doing things. Portugal has everything she loves; the markets, the sea and the beautiful old pousadas, but she would have gone for the pasteis de nata alone. In Piri Piri Starfish: Portugal Found, Tessa embroiders the recipes, traditions and Portuguese way of living together with her own unique colours and threads.
