Hello!! Sunday family lunches at my mother's home usually mean a roast in the oven! You know I love it, and that was what we did.

Olá!! Os almoços de Domingo em familia na casa da minha mãe normalmente incluem um assado no forno! Vocês sabem como eu adoro, e foi isso que fizemos.

This Sunday I (we) cooked | Este Domingo preparei (ámos):

Turkey leg in the oven with sweet potato | Perna de perú no forno com batata-doce

_{Figure 1 - SundayCook #34 - Turkey leg in the oven with sweet potato | Perna de perú no forno com batata-doce}

We love sweet potato (I only found it a couple of years ago) and we choose this one to roast with the turkey leg. It only has one inconvenient, it can get a bit dark which may look less appealing, but we didn't care. It tastes good!!

Nós adoramos batata-doce (eu só o descobri à poucos anos atrás) e escolhemo-la para acompanhar o nosso assado de perú. Tem apenas um inconveniente, tende a ficar com manchas escuras o que a pode tornar menos apelativa, mas não nos importámos. Sabe bem!!

What is Sunday Cook?!

This Sunday Cook project began with a strong will to contribute to Steemit with my personal view of Portuguese cuisine. I really believe we have plenty of good food. Despite I'm not a professional or nothing similar, I can assure that I'm doing my best, and hopefully, I'm improving my skills too!

On Sundays (cold Sundays), I like to prepare more elaborate and delicious food. It requires time and patience. Usually, I cook some traditional Portuguese food, or at least with Portuguese inspiration :) I try to do it in a healthier way, using the minimum fat as possible, and normally I pick some recipe and transform it. During the week I don't like to spend much time cooking (no time at all), that's why I get totally motivated to cook on Sundays!!

O que é o Sunday Cook?!

Este projeto iniciou-se com uma grande vontade de contribuir para o Steemit com a minha visão pessoal da cozinha Portuguesa. Eu considero que temos excelentes pratos. Apesar de não ser profissional nem nada que o valha, garanto que tenho feito o meu melhor, e espero estar a melhorar os meus dotes culinários!

Nos Domingos (quando está frio), gosto de preparar comida mais elaborada. Requer tempo e paciência. Normalmente, cozinho pratos da cozinha tradicional Portuguesa, ou pelo menos inspirados na mesma. Tento cozinhá-los de uma forma saudável, usando o mínimo de gordura possível e normalmente pego numa receita e adapto ao meu gosto. Durante a semana não gosto de perder tempo a cozinhar (nada mesmo), e é por isso que me sinto motivada a cozinhar nos Domingos!!
