Joel is telling me a beautiful story about the Tirana, capital of Albania.

Yes Kevin, has very special places of tradition and history.

Let´s look at the map and think where to start our trip. How about starting in Portugal ?!I've seen images of wonderful beaches !!!

With so many wonderful countries, it will be difficult to choose where to start our trip. And if we start ...for PORTUGAL??

Let's go for a walk to get to know the city better.&nbsp;

Recipe “Petinga à Moda das Caxinas” Is a small sardine stew with potatoes accompanied by wooden flour that uses a variety of ingredients: sliced onions, chopped garlic, pepper strips, chopped parsley, laurel and pasta tomato, adding the sliced potatoes and petinga combined with the art and dedication of the people of Caxinas.&nbsp;The seasoning is based on salt, ripe wine and olive oil.&nbsp;The traditional stick flour is made using the syrup, which gives it an exceptional taste.

I noticed that this country is in the form of a grape.

Even today, you can visit some typical fishing villages, built along the Tejo, such as the aviary villages, in the Caneiras.

Kevin and Joe continued their trip through Portugal and the next stop was in Santarém. In the distance they saw a green plateau bathed by the Tejo River. The Tagus River has been one of Santarém's great riches. It allowed commerce, the transport of people and goods and also fishing, being known for the abundance of fish.

Joe and Kevin started their journey of discovery through the flavors of the country heading towards the beach and the city of Vila do Conde.On the beach, Joe and Kevin saw some trawlers with fishermen and Joe asked them:

Do you know where we can discover the magic ingredient for a truly special flavour?&#160;

After a bumpy trip by boat Kevin and Joe arrived in Mallorca. What a beautiful place! An island in the Mediterranean sea. Here there were some friends waiting to meet them and share the lovely recipes they had prepared for Kevin and Joe.

&#160;What lovely flavours will our friends have prepared for us here?

After tasting Sütlaç and drinking Turkish tea , Kevin and Joe thanked the family for their hospitality and it was time to say good bye because they have to arrive in another city of Turkey to discover different flavors.

The students, had already prepared the necessary ingredients to make "Jesuítas".

For the soft egg custard: 3 egg yolks; 70 g sugar; 40 ml water For the pastries: 1 rectangular puff pastry base (375 g); 1 egg white; 8 tablespoons icing sugar; 6 drops lemon juice; 1 teaspoon of powdered cinnamon

In all Cádiz, you can find this type of houses. They are white houses and very beautiful. This type of places are called " Pueblos Blancos". We can visit Arcos de la Frontera, Benaocaz... There are a lot of them and they are very special

After a long walk on the banks of the Ave river, Kevin said:

I know! We are going to Roriz, to the Costa school, and the students in the 3C class are going to teach us how to make "Jesuítas", a speciality of the city of Santo Tirso.

Torrijas are a dessert done at Easter. They are done with milk or wine, eggs and fried with olive oil. Then you can put sugar or honey on them. They are very tasty.

The farmer said: Jerez is very famous for its wine and vinegar. We are from Andalusia and vegetables are very delicious and well known outside. The recipe we will cook is called "Ajo Campero". It is very good and healthy.

Campino wears in a very characteristic way with his green cap and red bar, white shirt, red vest, a red sash that he wears at the waist, blue pants, white socks up to the knee, black shoes with spurs, a jacket that he puts on over the left shoulder and finally your “pampilho”.

I am campino and on top of the horse I feel like someone else. I look at the herd with pride and love.

Me and my horse are great friends! We appear a lot on the posters referring to the typical festivals of our city of Santarém.

Before going up to the historic center, they approached some fishermen who were preparing to go fishing.

The international museum of contemporary sculpture originated from an idea by the sculptor Alberto Carneiro, who is from Santo Tirso. Between 1990 and 2015, the city of Santo Tirso hosted 10 international sculpture symposiums. &nbsp;&nbsp;There are 54 sculptures from various artists from around the world scattered around the city.

After all the eating, the children fom Santo Tomás wanted to show Kevin and Joe around so they all went sight-seeing and had a lovely time.

Look! The sun is going down.&#160; I think it's time to go.

Finally, this delicious journey was over. Kevin and Joe returned&nbsp;to&nbsp;their hometown. Kevin found the food he wanted to cook as a successful cook. He was ready to finish his meal with all the information he learned from all the places he went. He decided&nbsp;to put the most important spice that makes the food tasty. I'm sure that all of&nbsp;you're wondering what it is. It is "love". The great love covered everywhere around everyone. The next day, everyone tasted Kevin's food and they admired the food. He explained everyone how he succeded, then he winked Joe. &nbsp;Let's make the world's most delicious meal together.

I’m loving this visit to Ribatejo! Green fields, delicious fish and wonderful sweet!

For the soft egg cream: In a saucepan, mix the sugar and water, stir well and heat until it looks like meringue sugar. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a bowl, break the egg yolks with a wooden spoon, add the sugar syrup little by little, stirring constantly. Transfer back to the pan and heat, stirring with the wooden spoon until it thickens, but without boiling. Remove from heat and let cool . Preheat the oven to 200º C. Spread the puff pastry base on the table and spread the egg cream over half of the base, from one end to the other. Fold the base in half lengthwise and cut into triangles. Place the triangles of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside. Mix the egg white with the icing sugar and stir. Add the lemon juice and beat well with a wooden spoon until you get a fluffy paste. Add cinnamon powder, stir well and cover the triangles of dough with this paste. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes.

What a pity we have to go but we will come back another day for sure. Thanks you so much for a lovely visit!

- We have some particularly appreciated dishes. Christmas is a tribute to codfish! In the past, straw (now a blanket) was spread on the floor around the fireplace and the large families ate the supper , served in a bowl that sits in the middle of everyone. The traditional supper consists of cooked codfish, with potatoes and cabbages and wine, which was served with the fried food. - But in our sea the best sardines are captured, we know them as “<a href="http://www.visitviladoconde.pt/thumbs/turismoviladoconde/uploads/image_gallery_item/image/502/petisco_e_prato_principal_arroz_de_polvo_petinga_frita_vila_do_conde_1_1920_1080.jpg">Petinga</a>” and they are the delight of everyone such other <a href="http://www.visitviladoconde.pt/saborear/gastronomia">recipes</a>.

- We have another tradition and liked that you could experience&nbsp;the&nbsp;taste of our sweet bread.&nbsp;The “ <a href="http://www.visitviladoconde.pt/thumbs/turismoviladoconde/uploads/image_gallery_item/image/792/_mg_5488a_1_1920_1080.jpg">Pão Doce</a>” or “Rosca do folar” was traditionally made in the wood ovens of agricultural houses around Easter, where the owner of the house always made a batch of Pão Doce.&nbsp;Offered as a gift to godchildren who, on Sunday in Hallelujah, visited the godparents, it also served to "pay" small favors to those who were bothered during the year or, quite simply, to recognize the esteem that was nourished by someone&nbsp;.&nbsp;On&nbsp;Easter Monday or Angel Day&nbsp;Easter&nbsp;,&nbsp;is&nbsp;our&nbsp;tradition&nbsp;,&nbsp;heading&nbsp;to field and make&nbsp;picnics with families and friends.&nbsp;

I could not appeal the invitation of Márcio who explained the tradition "O Anjo"!

Joe, it was a good idea that we came to have the picnic and&#160; recreate the tradition "The Angel".

While they were talking, a flower that they had never seen before appeared. This is a reverse tulip. It is a flower that appears at certain times of the year and lives only in this region in the world. People also call this flower "The Crying Bride" because its neck is on the ground. When they approached to look at the flower, a smell came to their noses. And they noticed how hungry they were all the way.

Our next stop is a very nice city in northwestern of Turkey, Balıkesir. Let's go!

In honor of the campino, a pastry chef made the "pampilho" cake.

Once upon a time there was a country covered with spice trees and surrounded by beautiful sauces. Everyone in this land like eating and they could make their own recipes. Kevin was the only one who couldn't find his own recipe. Nobody could gain respect unless they didn't create their own recipe until fifteen years old. He decided to talk with Joe. Joe had magical power. He could visit anywhere when he&nbsp;snapped his finger. Joe told him that if he could gain respect and find the flavors hidden in the world. Kevin said: "I don't know anywhere except here." Joe asked him: "Would you like to go on a pleasant journey with me to taste different flavors." Kevin happily accepted the mysterious journey. Thus, Joe and Kevin&nbsp;started adventurous flavor journey together.

In Mallorca, at Easter it is very traditional to make Crespells and Robiols.

That is very kind of you.&#160; Of course we would love to try something traditionally Mallorquin.&#160;

Adem said that he could introduce them with great pleasure to this traditional dish.
