Grilled heart cabbage with anchovy sauce and crunchy chili
by Cheffe Louise Bourrat, Lisbon
The daughter of a Portuguese mother and a French father, Louise Bourrat was born and raised in Lyon and embraced her love of cooking from an early age.
At the age of 17, she joined the kitchen of the Hostellerie de l'Abbaye (1* Michelin), run by the famous Chef Alain Ducasse, and this was the first stop on a journey that quickly became international.
Since the beginning of her career, she has been told that professional cookery is not for women, a prejudice that she is keen to break down with her work, and she is currently one of the greatest female references on the Portuguese gastronomic scene today.
