One of the strands of Aunt Lhú are the gourmet dinners, they make gala of the Azorean cuisine.
LN: The Azorean cuisine and beyond. In this field differ we slightly. A person wants to do a dinner at home with friends, for birthdays and has not a supply of good quality, that's where we come in, that´s the idea. We offer a meal of meat or fish based in the cuisine of the Azores and have been very successful. It's almost like taking mother's food to the house of a person. We currently do five dinners a month and there is a maximum of 25 people. More than that is out of the question, because is out of our comfort zone, which is home cooking.
Regarding the recipes for the dinners where you find them?
LN: Many I learned from my mother, so I have made them already I cooked from a small age. There is a product of aunt Lhú who has been very successful, are the sweets which are made of milk and sugar and I did with my grandmother. She's dead now. The fact is that people rave with this candy because it dissolves in the mouth, has no additives or preservatives and is different.
What is your next goal?
LN: We will work with Peter Coffee, who is originally from the Azores, and now has a space in Porto. They approached several professional teams, interviewed us because they knew our products and obviously we were interest, because I am Azorean and my partner almost inevitably has an Azorean rib also. I will keep the exclusive candy store and Peter Coffee will be part of the Azorean cuisine with appetizers, limpets, rump and little greaves. The aim is to be different from the original on the island of Faial.
