About

One of the Museu de Lisboa's Christmas workshops, built around manjar branco, an old sweet the museum calls fit for a king. Families hear the story of the dessert, find out how it used to be prepared, then get their hands in the mix to make their own version. Between stories, smells and tastes, it covers ingredients, recipes and customs from the city's food history.
