We got married in São Tomé and we have to admit that our favorite local hero is the one and only João Carlos Silva. We even spent a night in his B&B in São Tomé – hot water was not included in the menu but OK, all the ingredients he touches turn into a mouthful of flavour. We used to watch his show 'Na roça com os tachos' and are very fond of his philosophical approach to gastronomy in Alcácer do Sal – and we quote – "shrimps making love to onions and olive oil in the pan" (with smoochy sounds in the mix). We wonder if this gastronomic drive is linked to São Tomé's fertility rate: 6.08 children born/woman (2000 est.).
