The season ends by exploring the city of Horta and tasting locally produced specialties that can only be found on this beautiful island. Then Maria heads to a volcano off the coast of Capelinhos, Faial, who's devastating eruption in 1958 resulted in a new wave of immigration to the US thanks to changes in policy spearheaded by John F. Kennedy. Maria also wrangles bees and gets to cook some unique farm to table inspired dishes on a mountain top farm with an American couple that returned to Faial to start anew on her great-grandparents' farmland.

About Maria's Portuguese Table:

When Maria Lawton was six years old her family emigrated to the United States from the island of Sao Miguel in the Azores, a stunning archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Maria documented the cooking and food memories so vital to her childhood, rediscovering her family's traditional recipes and putting them into her first cookbook, Azorean Cooking: From My Table to Yours.

As a complement to her book, Maria blends her love of Portuguese food, traditions, and culture with the cooking and travel series "Maria's Portuguese Table".

In this first series she goes on an 8-part food and travel odyssey starting in Rhode Island USA to Sao Miguel Azores, to California.
