A culinary project with a vision: using sustainability as a driver for innovation.

Chef Nuno and his wife Manuela — actually, the name NUMA comes from the first letters of their names combined — created this project with a clear goal of interpreting traditional Portuguese cuisine in unexpected and delightful new directions. But always with the main vision in mind: to avoid food waste. They use as much of each ingredient as possible, which further fuels the Chef's creativity.

There are some dishes which already achieved the 0% waste target, others are on their way. A good example is butter infused with powder created from the octopus' heads. Every day is a new challenge for Chef Nuno and it's fair to say is cooking is like an art form, transforming different ingredients into different states and re-using them in a fun way.
