Hello & Welcome!

2007-08-21T22:14:00.000-07:00

Salutation & welcome to the very first post of my cozinheiro louco doméstico (A crazy domestic cook) food blog! I have always been a fastidious eater since young and I would rather go hungry than eating terrible food! In order to get away from the label both my dad and brother gave me “skinny fussy eater” I decided to try cooking in harmony with my taste buds.
