My favourite coffee: a long espresso shot with some steamed milk, served in a little glass. My favourite one in Toronto is from Manic Coffee, at College and Bathurst.

Born in Brazil, Canadian by choice, and having lived in exciting Barcelona for a year between 2006 and 2007, my earliest childhood memories revolve around food and food is what I remember most about every place I’ve ever lived.
