As I enter Carmen’s smoke-blackened kitchen, my eyes take a little while to adjust to the gloom. They then sweep the room, taking in the leg of ham and the gnarly curl of chouriçasausage (used to flavour soups) dangling from the rafters next to an open wood fire with a black pot on top, the broom made with a bundle of dried twigs, the wood oven and...

I settle down to the indoor picnic feast that Carmen has prepared and tuck in. The broa is a little too moist, perhaps, but pleasingly crunchy on the outside. With home made chouriço (paprika sausa...
