Workshop Portuguese Style Vegan Food, em parceria com o Instituto Macrobiótico de Portugal

Portuguese food has as much tradition as it does flavor! 

How about learning the most popular Portuguese recipes, but in a vegan, healthy and delicious version? 

This workshop is for everyone, but especially for those who were not born in Portugal and would like to travel through Portuguese roots, in a plant-based way. Pasteis, feijoada, lagareiro, bulhão pato, pataniscas, cream "milk" and rice pudding, will be the snacks prepared and tasted, but, all made without sugar or animal products, despite having the characteristic  Portuguese flavor. Who’s up for the challenge?

About the trainer: I studied at IMP (Macrobiotic Institute of Portugal) and adopted this transformative way of life that is Macrobiotics, where I went from a job where I was 13 years working as a technic trainer in the insurance area, to dedicate my life exclusively to the study and teaching of this practice of which I identify myself so much.

Also studied in Joshua Rosenthal´s Institute of Nutrition IIN (NYC), former student of Michio Kushi and now I am an Integrative Nutrition Health coach, that combines and complement very well the work I already do with macrobiotics, especially in consultations.

By myself, I create and facilitate workshops, courses, self-transformation programs, food counseling consultations and retreats: www.soniajordao.com

I am a teacher at the IMP of the Annual and Intensive Macrobiotics Cooking Courses, in Workshops / Short Thematic Courses and also as a chef, where I cook meals regularly at the restaurant of the institute.

Usually, I am a teacher in Nós Escola, another beautiful project, that focuses on Wellness, Health and sustainability, where I teach Macrobiotic philosophy and cooking classes.

Outside of Portugal, I have been an invited teacher by CIMO (International Macrobiotique Center Ohsawa) in Paris (France), to facilitate Workshops, as well as to cook at the macrobiotic restaurant Natural'mente in Berlin. I was also a professor of macrobiotic and vegan cooking courses and workshops at AQDV (Alimentos que dan vida) a vegan school in Alicante (Spain).

In addition to these experiences, the practice of Meditation and Yoga have been fundamental tools in my journey of self-knowledge, and I feel the motivation to continue to share these tools and my life experience, inspiring others in their own transformation.
