Portuguese Recipes FAQs

What is typical Portuguese food?

Portuguese cuisine is known for its fresh seafood, grilled meats and hearty stews, as well as the sweet and moreish pasteis de natas.

Is Portuguese food healthy?

Portuguese cuisine utilises fresh ingredients such as seafood and vegetables, often drizzled in olive oil, making it generally healthy. However, some dishes may be high in salt or calories due to cooking methods or added ingredients, which is worth bearing in mind.

What if I'm not home to receive my Portuguese recipes from HelloFresh?

How will my Portuguese food stay cool if I’m not home to receive it?

We carefully handpack all ingredients with special ice packs and insulation, so your Portuguese recipes will keep cool and fresh until you get home.

What if I don't want a Portuguese food delivery every week?
