On today’s episode of Food From Here and There, I make my way to Portugal via Goa, exploring the little Portuguese egg custard tart pastry, pastel de nata. Joining me all the way from Goa is chef and restaurateur Ralph Prazeres, the man behind artisanal bakery-café Padaria Prazeres. We talk about his exposure to Portuguese cuisine, the preparation of the pastel de nata, and the challenges of bringing an international cuisine to India.
