Who is Amabile Kolenda? I am curious and I love learning and sharing, I love living and learning from life!
I'm also very connected to the sea, perhaps because I was born and raised on a beautiful island in Brazil, Florianópolis.
I've lived in Lisbon for a little over 6 years, and Portugal gave me a sense of home when I was searching for something more in my life.
I'm a Natural Chef, specializing in functional gastronomy for over 10 years. I'm passionate about food and health, and being able to combine the two makes me immensely happy!
In my work, I act as a consultant for restaurants, chefs at retreats, and as a teacher. I enjoy being dynamic and doing different things.
This passion for so many things and for sharing has also led me to be present on social media from the very beginning, sharing my journey and what I've learned over these years!
