In today's episode, I'm talking about what monks and nuns have to do with egg yolks, the wide array of conventual sweets and the influence of Portuguese baking around the world. In the second part, I'm delving into four recipes and how I found them: Toucinho do Céu (flourless almond egg yolk cake), Pão-de-Ló de Chocolate (a very spongy chocolate cake), Pastéis de Nata/ Pastéis de Belém (egg custard tarts) and Pão de Deus (bread of God / buns with a sweetened coconut topping).
