the Special Rehousing Program which involved the construction of several municipal neighborhoods with decent housing conditions "It was the dream of 1986 and the courage and determination of the 1993 government that made it possible to implement a solid and serious housing policy for the first time in Portugal would give dreams and futures to thousands of people The success of that time is not unrepeatable; on the contrary it can and must happen again"said Isaltino since the governments of Aníbal Cavaco Silva (who was Prime Minister between 1985 and 1995) that "no government has refocused its attention on housing" as António Costa's recent governments have done since 2018 The mayor - who began his political career with the PSD but has been running on independent lists since 2005 - harshly criticized the "Troika government" for having promoted the "the law of soil crystallization" In this way potentially developable agricultural land is kept away from housing production "This limitation of one of the main building factors "condemning an entire generation to the nightmare of shacks overcrowded houses and suffocating credit" this soil law also "it has stifled the growth of cities" the absence of humanism that eradicated the right to housing from the government agenda"he also said where "nobody spoke" public housing and in which it was felt that the "the housing problem used to be left to the private sector" "leading us to the biggest housing crisis since April 25" "without housing there is no room for hope to sprout"and that this first right is "condition for other dreams and rights to come true"The most important issues are education "The housing problem has to be solved through action by local councils and with support from the state"he said "I think I'm completely independent to say that the Prime Minister has given the country back the right to a decent home and housing for all." was in the room listening to the Mayor of Oeiras is helping the country to increase its share of public housing which currently stands at 2-3% with "around 123,000 fires" The public housing stock is meager compared to that of other European countries which were forced into gigantic reconstruction operations after the Second World War and which today have 20-30% of public housing Portugal will have "3.2 billion euros in non-repayable grants" for housing in the PRR "It means increasing the entire public housing stock built over decades by almost 25%"Costa said that this work is being done in partnership with local authorities European funds always excluded financing for housing there began to be the possibility of doing some tricks of using some energy efficiency funds to make some repairs to public housing But never building from scratch"criticized the Prime Minister the Radionaval Station project is the largest to date in terms of affordable housing but it's not the only one underway with PRR money at affordable rents and is the result of an investment of 12.8 million euros There are also 16 houses under construction in Parque da Junça and 12 in Quinta dos Aciprestes The municipality is launching 96 houses in Leceia These projects join many others; the aim by 2026 is to provide 746 new homes at affordable rents in a total of 12 developments spread over four parishesThis will consist of an overall planned investment of 130 million eurosof which 115 million is PRR funding and 15 million is from the municipality In addition to these investments in increasing public housing in the municipality Oeiras City Council has the requalification of 19 municipal districts underway with interventions in 410 buildings and 3,131 houses for a total investment of 77 million euros; the aim is to improve the comfort and energy performance of the buildings and the surrounding public space The municipality also has its Youth Housing program which consists of acquiring and restoring properties in the old parts of the municipality to provide housing for young people between the ages of 18 and 35; since 2006 16 of which have already been rehabilitated and 10 of which are in the planning stage -

EG – I know that you used to cook to your grandmother and you’ve read French cookbooks. VH – I was raised by women only, almost – you can’t notice that, but it’s true (laughs) – by my two grandmas, my aunts and by my mother whenever that was possible. My grandmother worked as a cook in a tavern, she did things like açorda of tomato, fried fish (food that I do love). So I used to go with her to the restaurant and I enjoyed cooking stuff at home. When I was eleven years old, I set my mom’s kitchen on fire and I took a beating. VH – I was making some béchamel, standing on a stool, and when I was about to pick up the pot with a cloth, it started to burn my hands, and so I threw it right on the oilcloth floor, which caught fire right away. I still managed to extinguish it, but the consequence was a giant black spot right in the middle of the floor. She was quite “happy” with that. EG – Did you start to cook around that age? VH – I always return to all the places where I once worked, at least once more. I haven’t returned to Eleven yet, because I don’t have the time to. I left Eleven to manage two restaurants of the franchise 100 Maneiras, but I really like Koerper, he’s a great man. I still remember when I was working at Eleven, and we manage to get one Michelin star back, the next day I quit and Joachim said: “But… Shrek?”. He called me Shrek! VH – He used to say “Vítor Hugo, I have a lot of cooks in here, I will not remember your name. Can I call you Shrek?” “You, chef, can call me whatever you want to”. EG – Picking again on that topic of getting a Michelin Start at Eleven, what did you say to Joaquim Koerper to justify your departure? VH – I said “Because I want to. We’ve won that star. It’s done. It’s said an done”. Then I decided to go to 100 Maneiras and, when I talked to Ljubomir, I couldn’t even recall that I had done a champagne risotto with pan-seared scallops and beurre noisette, which he loved to the point where he asked to meet me. VH – Well, during the time when I was still working at 100 Maneiras, I started providing consultancy services to Champanharia do Cais, in Cais do Sodré, and then I kept doing the same sort of work for Espumantaria do Petisco in Castelo and, last year, we opened Espumantaria do Mar at Palácio do Chiado. That was when I made the decision to leave 100 Maneiras. VH – Because I was there for three years! Enough of that! In the meantime, the shareholders of this company knew that I was about to leave and so they made me a proposal where I’d assume the leadership or the management of the group’s kitchens. Peixola then joined those three kitchens. I liked the concept, but they lacked freshness, control. António Néu – Do you like to control everything? VH – Do I!!! Of course. I get crazy if I don’t control everything, from the doses to the accounts. EG – Let’s get a hold on all of your path until you reached where you are now. VH – Armazém F was the first place where I had the leadership, then I was the chef at Casa México, in Rua Dom Carlos I, Lisbon’s best Mexican restaurant by a mile. After that I returned to Armazém F, already as the chef of both their spots, then CCB, as a banquet chef. Then, I worked at Justa Nobre in Torres de Lisboa (good spot, good school, good everything) and then I inaugurated Rio’s in Oeiras. Then I went back to Kais and CCB. Now let’s pause because the fondant has arrived. EG – So good. Must be my favourite dessert. EG – Self-taught. And this tasting menu. How did you reach its concept? EG – So, basically, your kitchen is a fusion of several situations that you experienced. VH – Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and render to Ljubomir’s mother the things that are Ljubomir’s mother’s. That’s it in a nutshell. Nobody invents anything, we do marriages, some more successful than others. So we have this mousse, which has an Eastern inspiration. Then the carpaccio of scallops, which is much sweeter, more sugary, but I balance things up with olive powder, hazelnuts and truffle oil. EG – After the cuttlefish tartare, which almost made me cry. VH – Because I like to feel the presence of the flavour! If it has wasabi mayonnaise, I must feel it, it cannot be just a tiny scent. EG – And then the details. You use edible flowers in almost all your dishes! VH – Indeed. I like some more than others. I particularly enjoy pansies. Perhaps because I’m a hopeless romantic. I like pansies and roses very much, but they wither quite quickly and so I end up choosing Chinese carnations. EG – What you really like is to juxtapose contemporary cuisine with the Portuguese one. VH – Yes. That’s why the fish soup you tasted today must be like a really classic soup, filled with flavour, filled with fish and consistent to the point where the spoon can stay poked, firm and rigid in it for three days. And then we add several spices. I do a mixture of 27 spices of mine. VH – The fondant is a classic, the only thing I changed was the fact that we started to do our own ice cream. It’s more laborious, but it’s worth it. When I did chestnut pudding for 100 Maneiras, I did it with lemon verbena ice cream. Why? Because my grandma used to do roasted chestnuts with lemon verbena tea. It’s an incredible combination, the verbena’s fresh flavor, just outstanding, and then the pudding… I always go back to my grandma’s recipes. including Themes in the History of 20th Century Art (Fundação Serralves) a Curatorial workshop at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon Aesthetics (Ar.Co) and History of Photography at the same Institution and a Postgraduate Degree in Curating at the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences at Universidade Nova de Lisboa She is a founding member and director of Umbigo magazine with which she developed several curatorial projects including the exhibition "Entre Limite e a Audácia" by Miguel Palma at the Fábulas gallery "The Difference" by Andrea Splisgar at the Palácio de Santa Catarina the exhibition "Pieces and Parts" at Plataforma Revólver "Pierre Barbrel – Dissociation" at Espaço Camões da Sá da Costa "Robe de contact (lys)" by artist Jean François-Krebs at Galeria Sá da Costa In 2023 she curated the exhibitions "Unwinding" by Theodore Ereira-Guyer and Sam Llewellyn-Jones at Galeria Sá da Costa and "A Face is a Mask..." by Pedro Valdez Cardoso at Brotéria She was jury and curator of the Contemporary Jewelry Exhibition "On the Other Hand" commemorating the 5th anniversary of PIN (Portuguese Association of Contemporary Jewelry) Galeria Adorna Corações (Porto) and at the Gray Area Symposium at Galeria Medellein ( Mexico City) In 2018 she was a jury for the ENSA Arte award in Luanda she coordinated the edition of the book "Coordenadas do Corpo na Arte Contemporânea" a collection that brings together an essay by Bárbara Coutinho and several artistic works many of them developed specifically for the book in a set of works that represent a small sample of the concerns philosophical and aesthetic ideas of a group of artists together with António Néu (art director of Umbigo magazine) a networking network for artists that promotes synergy between them and agents in the field (curators Subscribe to the Newsletter (EN Version)!
