Casa do Forno at Torre de Palma Wine Hotel brings together 2 Chefs and 1 Perfumer in the 7th Edition: Miguel Laffan, André Nunca Cordeiro & Lourenço Lucena
09/11/2023Join the Torre de Palma Wine Hotel, on November 19th, for another family, intimate and comfortable lunch with Torre de Palma wines. The resident Chef, Miguel Laffan invited two other chefs to join him in the kitchen. Miguel Laffan discovered the beauty of the natural landscapes, meadows and castles in Alentejo, which inspired him to win the first Michelin star in this region. This strong connection and knowledge of the Alentejo led him to create PALMA – a family experience, of sharing and well-being in which the genuineness and generosity of the land is what stands out. There, in Alto Alentejo, he found local producers with great passion, around homemade sausages, pure cheeses, or carefully selected pasture animals, and thus PALMA by Miguel Laffan was born, at the Torre de Palma Wine Hotel.
Chef André Nunca Cordeiro, who will also dedicate himself to this lunch, graduated from the French school and inspired by the world, owns the Essencial Restaurant in Lisbon, a minimalist project, where the decoration is stripped of excess and the dishes are simple, in order to leave shine the “star” ingredient of each one. Lourenço Lucena is the only Portuguese member of the French Society of Perfumers. By arguing that we should pay more attention to what we see, hear and feel, he prefers to say that he is a sensorialist. He has the gift of knowing how to combine things harmoniously. In the perfumes he creates, he combines aromas. In the projects he signs, he coordinates the different arts. At 50 years old, Lourenço Lucena has already organized dinners with menus tailored to an odor, created perfumes for brides in Santo António and, recently, developed another for the Belcanto restaurant, the two Michelin Star by José Avillez – in addition to having his Acqua di Portokáli, inspired by Algarve oranges.
