A Weekend in Lisbon

I booked a trip to Lisbon early last year not knowing anyone who had been there but having heard good things about it being an up and coming place to visit, particularly amongst foodies. By the time my trip came around everyone I knew and their grandmother had been! Clearly it was the short haul…

One Pan Hake with Tomatoes & Beans
