Portuguese chefs - Bertílio Gomes

Bertílio Gomes has proven that he knows what he's doing in the kitchen. That's after perfecting his talent in New York, working at the acclaimed Bica do Sapato restaurant in Lisbon, and earning the Young Chef of the Year award in 1998. His specialty is traditional Portuguese cuisine cooked with not-so-traditional ingredients found in Portugal.
Most recently, until early 2011, he was at Casa da Comida.

Guimarães - European Capital of Culture

Guimarães, tucked in a valley in the far north of Portugal and often referred to as the birthplace of the Portuguese state, has been designated a European Capital of Culture for 2012. That means that visitors this year are in for a treat: an added load of cultural activities in a very interesting corner of Portugal.

The Cultural Capital year in Guimarães called for a kick-off party, and it was held yesterday. I'll let Julie Fox tell you about it:

Fireworks? Tick. Orchestra? Tick. Massive crowds? Tick. A knight in the air? Tick. Psychedelic lights and stunning graphics projected onto buildings? Tick. Gigantic metal horse and fibreglass man puppets? Tick. What more could anyone possibly want from an opening event? An all night street party? Oh, all right then, if you insist; after all, this is the beginning of a year of culture and festivities in Guimarães.

U2 - Ireland

One of only a few bands to achieve consistent commercial and critical success across three decades, U2 has charted success on its own terms on both the artistic and business sides of the music industry. From the band's earliest days in Dublin, Ireland, to the present, U2 has broken free from the traditional limitations of what a rock band -- and rock music -- could and couldn't do. By combining an original sound with honest lyrics and a challenging social message, U2 has earned the respect of their peers and critics, and an almost fanatical following of fans around the world. This is their story.
