The Simple Plate

Hi, we’re The Simple Plate, and welcome to our little corner of the internet where food and flavor come together! We’re passionate about all things culinary, especially when it comes to exotic dishes and Portuguese cuisine. Whether we’re trying new recipes or perfecting old favorites, cooking is our way of sharing joy with the people we care about. During the week, our kitchen is all about simplicity—quick, easy meals that fit into a busy schedule but don’t skimp on taste. Come the weekend, though, we love tackling more challenging recipes that push our skills and creativity. There’s nothing better than gathering friends around the table to enjoy a delicious meal and great conversation. Join us as we explore new flavors, share our favorite recipes, and discover the beauty of cooking from scratch. Whether you’re fellow foodies or just looking for some kitchen inspiration, we’re so glad you’re here!
