Community lunch at Monte da Ervilha with Monika Błoch
At this community lunch, Monika proposes a moment of gathering around a shared meal, where cooking and eating become ways of connecting with the land. Using local ingredients and plants gathered at Monte da Ervilha itself, a shared meal will be created that values proximity, seasonality, and experimentation.
Conceived as a collective gesture, the lunch invites participants to compose a painting on their plate, exploring colors, textures, and flavors that emerge from the place.
Monika Błoch is a chef and co-founder of Venn, in Porto.
Born in Poland, she lived in Antwerp before moving to Porto.
Após concluir uma licenciatura em Nutrição pela Universidade Médica de Łódź, dedicou-se à cozinha.
Gosta de trabalhar com produtos que outros considerariam desperdício, transformando-os em tesouros na cozinha. Em cada prato, procura um elemento de diversão — tal como na vida. Tem uma forte atenção à cor.
She approaches cooking having environmental issues in focus, proudly bringing vegetables to the center of a plate.
