Thank You to Portugalia Marketplace in Fall River Ma, for hosting our Taste Portugal Cookbook signing on May 2, 2015. We had a wonderful time meeting great people who stopped by to meet us and buy the book. It so nice to hear personal stories about family roots and the love of Portuguese food from everyone!

The Benevides famiy, and crew welcomed us like family into their home! The Market was renovated from an old mill and the original architecture of the exterior brick wall was incorporated into the redesign to create a stunning backdrop entrance when you first walk in.

The sounds of Portuguese music and the aromas from the Portuguese food in the cafe and the prepared food, meats and cheese invokes memories of being in Portugal. We enjoyed a morning cappuccino, espresso and a presunto and cheese sandwich on a “papo seco” Portuguese roll which made us feel like we were in a Lisbon cafe! Portugalia is a Portuguese foodies dream so stop by on your next trip to New England!
