Meals: Nourish Yourself
Meals will be brought to your by Francisco Basílio.
Francisco's food aim is to nourish and ignite vitality, percieving nutrition holisticly, as everything you intake and considering different latitudes of food.
Mostly plant Based, although with no fundamentalisms, his kitchen is eco friendly and sustanable, respecting zero waste philosophy, concentrated on local, seasonal and fresh products, giving preference to what he calls nutraceuticals - low mass to a high concentration of nutrients, in order to promote energy instead of wasting it during its digestion.
Francisco follows Ayurvedic principles such as "we are not what we eat but what we diggest" and therefore promoting Agni - primordial fire; is a constant factor on his gastronomic line.
His cooking can also be described as international, inspired on different cultures and techniques, from Ayurvedic, Japan, midle east to a vegetarian re intrepertation of Portuguese gastronomy.
Francisco sees cooking as an act of love and promoting cosnciousness, being food, as well, a veichle for cultural wisdom, activism, medicine and Art.

Francisco Basilio, a Chef - a Gastronaut and a Surfer.
Francisco Basilio was born in Portugal, Lisbon, and started studying psychology after high school, but soon realised that transforming reading nature into food cook was his thing, as it would place him between men and nature, being able to create synergy, balance and art and understanding agriculture, chemistry, and health. Soon he starts to travel around the world learning new cultures, gastronomic landscapes and techniques. At the age of 25 he travelled to India by mistake, or happy incident, and got acquainted with Indian Cuisine and Ayurvedic medicine.
Can’t miss a opportunity to have a chat with the goats pastor and check were are the best waves in the moment.
Always very respectful towards Ayurvedic medicine, practice the received ancestral knowledge through cooking and conversations.
After experiencing living in multiple parts of the world, now shares the love of living in his small farm with his wife, daughter and animals.
Cooking is an act of Love, bringing together people realities – culture, health and Art/creativity as a form of (self)healing.
