The series not only explores the scenic beauty of Portugal and its islands but also delves into the stories of individuals who embody the spirit and culinary heritage of the Portuguese people.<\/p>\n The success of the first season led to an eagerly awaited second installment, which continued to enchant viewers with its authentic storytelling and mouthwatering culinary explorations. As Maria’s Portuguese Table gears up for its third season, anticipation builds for an even richer portrayal of the Portuguese diaspora, with plans to feature locales such as the Azorean island of Santa Maria, Madeira and mainland Portugal.<\/p>\n Upon receiving the Taste Award, Lawton shared her heartfelt gratitude: “This accolade is a tribute to the countless individuals who have joined us on this remarkable journey. It celebrates the chefs, families, and communities who have shared their stories and traditions, the tireless production crew and Director Dean Camara of Cineasta Digital who brought our vision to life, and our devoted viewers who have made this series a part of their lives. ‘Maria’s Portuguese Table’ is more than a show; it’s a movement that unites us through the love of Portuguese culture and the joy of food.”<\/p>\n “Maria’s Portuguese Table” stands as a beacon of cultural pride and culinary passion, inviting viewers nationwide to discover the essence of Portugal and the warmth of its people.
