Interview with Nicky do Rosario
Nicky do Rosario’s Grão de bico, served at OASE’s Strandtent this July, is a Cabo Verdean family dish rooted in resilience and shared tradition. Though not a daily staple in her mixed household, she rediscovered its simplicity and balance through family, where recipes and stories are passed down around the table. For Nicky, the dish tastes like the soul of Cabo Verde, offering nourishment, warmth, and a taste of cultural heritage.
