Welcome to the Cookbook Club at Good Company Bookstore!

Join our Cookbook Club where we create a relaxed, welcoming way to discover new dishes, learn from one another, and celebrate a shared love of cooking and books!

Each month, we gather to explore a new cookbook together. Once the book is chosen, every participant selects a recipe that catches their interest and prepares it at home. You’re encouraged to make the recipe by yourself!

Feel free to add your personal touches, substitutions, or creative twists.

When we meet, everyone brings their dish to share, creating a table full of diverse interpretations from the same cookbook. Our gatherings take place at Good Company Bookstore, where we enjoy the food, exchange ideas, and talk about what worked (or didn’t!) in each recipe.

Cookbook of the month:&nbsp;Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat : Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking&nbsp;by Samin Nosrat

About the book:&nbsp;In&nbsp;Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, chef and writer Samin Nosrat explores the four elements she believes are at the heart of every good meal. Part cookbook and part guide to cooking with more intuition, the book blends recipes with practical lessons that encourage readers to cook with more confidence, flexibility, and creativity rather than simply following rules.

Known for her warm and inviting approach to food, Nosrat first became widely recognized through her writing in publications like The New York Times Magazine before reaching an even larger audience through the Netflix adaptation of&nbsp;Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. 

Her work centers around the idea that cooking is meant to be shared, approachable, joyful, and rooted in community.

Join us for an evening of books, conversation, and community as we dive celebrate works of lusophone authors!

Hosted in English but readers are welcome to read in both the Portuguese original and the English translation.

Book of the month:&nbsp;Lucio's Confessions&nbsp;by Mario de Sa-Carneiro&nbsp;

About the Book:&nbsp;When in 1916, Mario de Sa-Carneiro committed suicide in Paris at the age of 26, he left behind him an extraordinary body of work, which dealt obsessively with the problems of identity, madness and solitude. Lucio's Confession is the first of his novels to be translated into English. A brilliant and remarkable short novel of great eroticism and enigmatic beauty Lucio's Confession is set in the fin de siecle artist circles of Paris and Lisbon. It deals with the friendship of two young Portuguese poets, Lucio and Ricardo de Loureiro, and their search for identity through love. When the bachelor Ricardo returns to Lisbon, to everyone's surprise he is accompanied by a wife. She, Marta, seems the perfect partner, and establishes an immediate rapport with his close friend Lucio on the latter's return from Paris. Soon they become lovers. Despite the passionate nature of their relationship, Lucio suspects that Marta is sharing her favours with Ricardo's other close friends. Something is not quite right. Where did this mysterious woman meet Ricardo, and, indeed who is she? Why does she never speak of her past and why is Ricardo conniving at her infidelity? Lucio's attempts to unravel this mystery have tragic and terrible consequences.

Lusophone Book Club 

Língua: Curdo, Árabe /&nbsp; Legendas: Inglês

Ao longo dos séculos, a cidade de Raqqa foi testemunha do surgimento e da queda de muitos impérios. Depois de ter sido conquistada pelo Estado Islâmico, em 2013, a violência e as atrocidades tornaram-se uma realidade quotidiana, e as mulheres foram obrigadas a cumprir rigorosamente as regras da sharia. Em 2017, as Forças Democráticas Sírias (SDF) libertaram a cidade e os seus arredores. Raqqa renasceu e, desta vez, foram as mulheres a liderar a mudança e a construir um novo futuro. No documentário, conhecemos Maryam, que lidera o Gabinete da Administração das Mulheres, Awaft, que trabalha na Câmara, e Hind, uma cantora e música, que pode finalmente liderar uma banda e atuar em concertos públicos.

O documentário Blooming in the Desert, de Benedetta Argentieri, é exibido no âmbito do ciclo de cinema itinerante Síria, a revolução desconhecida das mulheres, organizado por Olhares do Mediterrâneo - Women's Film Festival.

O filme é o ponto de partida para explorar a experiência de democracia radical em curso no Norte e Leste da Síria (Rojava) desde 2012. Um projecto de utopia concreta baseado na libertação das mulheres, na democracia participativa, na convivência interétnica e na ecologia. Uma experiência revolucionária no coração do Médio Oriente que funda a libertação de todas e todos na demolição do patriarcado.&nbsp;

Participam na conversa ativistas da Plataforma de Solidariedade com os Povos do Curdistão, e outras pessoas convidadas a anunciar. A sessão é apresentada e moderada por Silvia Di Marco, dos Olhares do Mediterrâneo.

A sessão será em inglês, mas teremos todo o gosto em facilitar a conversa para quem prefere falar em português.

6:30 - Chega mais cedo para visitar a parte da livraria e pedir uma bebida!

7:00 - Projeção do filme começa.

A participação é gratuita, mas a inscrição é obrigatória. Inscreve-te para garantir o teu bilhete.

Olhares Do Mediterrâneo - Women’s Film Festival

Come and enjoy an intimate concert at Good Company Bookstore as we invite two artists to perform!

Whether you're here to discover new music, unwind after a long day, or simply enjoy good company, this promises to be a special night.

Join us at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/goodcompanybookstore/" target="_blank">Good Company Bookstore&nbsp;</a>for an intimate evening of live music, where storytelling and melody come together in a cosy bookshop setting. With a glass of wine in hand, settle in and let two incredible artists transport you with their heartfelt performances.

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/marinhotheband/" target="_blank">Pip Marinho</a>&nbsp;- Always earnest, always relatable. Under the Radar Magazine (US) calls them "Lisbon’s finest new musical export". Through their guitar fingerpicking and emotionally charged voice, Portuguese singer-songwriter Pip Marinho (formerly known as Marinho) underscores life’s delicate nuances between holding pain and releasing it. Cathartic resolutions come in the form of alternative folk rock songs they’ve written and assembled on their 2019 debut album ”~” (read ‘tilde’) and other works they’re preparing to release. Their deeply personal and confessional music is undoubtedly cementing their growing reputation.Pip has opened for the likes of Allegra Krieger, Anna St. Louis, Alice Phoebe Lou, Manel Cruz and more. They've played extensively in Portugal and have taken steps into international touring in the UK and Europe. Some press have compared them to Buck Meek (Big Thief), Black Belt Eagle Scout and even beloved rock icon Alanis Morissette. Go figure.

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/tiagosagamusic/" target="_blank">Tiago Saga</a>&nbsp;is pure mongrel – a medley of English, Lebanese and Spanish heritage, raised at “The End of the World”, the windswept southwest of Portugal, with Bob Dylan, Kate Bush, Talking Heads and Billie Holiday sweeping through the house. His music melts these influences into folk for the modern era, emotional and raw yet laced with humour, and contemporary narratives, inviting listeners to dance and cry, sometimes at the same time.

While studying contemporary composition at University in Brighton, he formed Time for T, a band that went on to play festivals like NOS Alive, Green Man and Vodafone Paredes de Coura, with tours across Europe, the USA, Lebanon and Mexico. His songs topped the Spotify UK Viral Chart and received airplay on BBC Radio 1, Deutschlandfunk Kultur, Antena 3 and Radio 3, surpassing 6 million streams.

Now based in Lisbon, Saga produces for himself and others, composes soundtracks for film, and is preparing his first solo album, due in 2026.

6.45pm - Doors open. Grab a drink and snack and say hello before the music starts.

7.15pm - The music will begin. Chairs are first come, first serve but we also have plenty of standing and floor seating space available. Two artists will perform with a short interval in between.

Live Music Concert with Pip Marinho & Tiago Saga

Join us at Good Company Bookstore for a night of films, conversation, and resistance!

<a href="https://queercinemaforpalestine.org/" target="_blank">Queer Cinema for Palestine (QCP)</a>&nbsp;is a traveling festival that brings together work by queer Palestinian artists and their allies. The program we're showing runs about an hour, and the films pull from a wider current — one where queer liberation, Palestinian freedom, and the fight against all forms of domination aren't separate causes but the same one.

Our host for the night is&nbsp;Mama Ganuush, a trans Palestinian performance artist, filmmaker, and organizer whose own work appears in the program.&nbsp;

After the screenings they'll sit down with us for a Q&amp;A, and then run a workshop on anti-colonial propaganda — how it's made, how it moves, and how we might make our own. A deep dive into pinkwashing and other forms of colonial propaganda and ways to center Palestinian trans identity in this totalitarian era.

Come watch, come argue, come make something.

6:30pm - Grab a drink, chat and find your seat.

8:15pm - Q&amp;A and Anti-colonial propaganda workshop with Mama Ganuush

Event is free to attend, but registration is obligatory! Please grab your free ticket quickly. Seating is on first come first serve basis.&nbsp;

Queer Cinema for Palestine: Screening & Workshop

Junta-te a nós para uma manhã de domingo criativa e divertida com a nossa oficina de arte!&nbsp;

A nossa oficina surge como uma extensão das sessões de leitura que acontecem aos sábados na Good Company Books. O objetivo é dar corpo ao mundo interior de cada participante, seja a partir das histórias ouvidas no dia anterior ou da necessidade de transpor as suas próprias fantasias para formas, cores e texturas.&nbsp;

Nesta oficina vamos pintar com tintas artesanais feitas a partir de plantas, flores e vegetais comuns, como os que encontramos na cozinha ou no jardim. O cheiro e as cores que estas tintas carregam convidam a uma reflexão sobre as possibilidades criativas ao nosso alcance que, por vezes, passam despercebidas. Mas também é uma forma lúdica e simples de aproximar as crianças da origem das coisas, ajudando-as a compreender o processo e a transformação da matéria-prima até chegar ao produto final.&nbsp;

O evento tem um custo de 7 euros (+taxa). Pedimos que faças a reserva com antecedência para podermos preparar materiais suficientes para todos os pequenos artistas. Por favor, seleciona quantos adultos irão acompanhar. Se não puderes comparecer, pedimos que canceles o teu bilhete para que outros possam participar.&nbsp;

Cada sessão é única e oferece um roteiro estruturado, desenhado para guiar cada criança na exploração dos contornos da sua imaginação. Vamos descobrir diferentes temas, técnicas e suportes em cada encontro. Aqui, desmistificamos a ideia do não ter jeito ou não consigo e celebramos a experimentação como parte essencial do processo.&nbsp;

Nada de especial, traz apenas a tua curiosidade! Nós fornecemos todos os materiais necessários para materializar ideias em criações físicas.&nbsp;

Esta oficina é para todas as crianças que queiram expandir os seus horizontes criativos através da arte. Para que se sintam seguras e integradas, os pais e cuidadores são bem-vindos a acompanhar as sessões.&nbsp;

O projeto está aberto a sugestões! A nossa anfitriã, Margarida, estará atenta aos gostos e propostas de cada criança, de forma a ir moldando a sua oferta aos nossos pequenos artistas.&nbsp;

Good Company Books&nbsp;é uma livraria e café de língua inglesa localizada no elegante bairro das Avenidas Novas em Lisboa.

Oficina com tintas feitas a partir de plantas, flores e vegetais 

Join us for a witty and surprising journey through art history exploring male nude in art hosted by Jeanne Couaillier!

We’re used to naked women in paintings.But naked men? That’s a much stranger story.

2,500 years ago, showing off your sculpted half-naked body was peak masculine prestige. Then things changed. A lot.

So what happened between Greek heroes, suffering saints, idealised warriors, awkward aristocrats, and modern men trying to reinvent masculinity?

Join us at&nbsp;The Good Company Bookstore&nbsp;on&nbsp;June 23rd, 6:30 pm, for a witty and surprising journey through art history exploring how ideals of masculinity have been shaped — and reshaped — by religion, politics, science, power, desire and social expectations.

Because the male body in art has never just been about bodies.

Expect myths, scandals, power struggles, vulnerability, a little sensuality, and plenty of unexpected stories along the way.

A perfect Pride month conversation about masculinity: who defines it, who performs it, and what happens when those definitions begin to crack.

Host:&nbsp;I’m&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/art_threading_stories?igsh=NTRqMXY0dGl4MXRr" target="_blank">Jeanne</a>, an international art teacher, designer, and art historian. I’ve lived in eight countries, and I love sharing creative ideas and inspirations in a warm, accessible way.

6:30pm&nbsp;- Grab a drink, find your seat and get comfortable.&nbsp;

7:00pm&nbsp;- Start of the event.&nbsp;

9:00pm&nbsp;- The venue closes.&nbsp;

Participants are welcome to bring anything that will help them to absorb the talk; books, notepads, something to write etc.

Absolutely everyone, curious art enthusiasts, artists, scholars or anyone interested in deepening their knowledge on art in a warm, accessible way.

Every participant has 1 beverage included in their ticket. Enjoy a glass of wine or sip some tea while learning about The Male Nude In Art !

Spaces are limited, grab your ticket quickly!

Heroism & Vulnerability: The Male Nude In Art Talk

Join us for an evening of books, conversation, and community as we dive into a timeless literary classics!

Book of the Month:&nbsp;The Wall&nbsp;by Marlen Haushofer&nbsp;

About the Book:&nbsp;When her cousin and wife fail to return from a walk, this story takes a sinister turn to a quest of survival.

A woman takes a holiday in the Austrian mountains, spending a few days with her cousin and his wife in their hunting lodge. When the couple fails to return from a walk, the woman sets off to look for them. But her journey reaches a sinister and inexplicable dead end. She discovers only a transparent wall behind which there seems to be no life. Trapped alone behind the mysterious wall she begins the arduous work of survival.

This is at once a simple account of potatoes and beans, of hoping for a calf, of counting matches, of forgetting the taste of sugar and the use of one's name, and simultaneously a disturbing dissection of the place of human beings in the natural world.

Join us for a workshop on fairy tales with a researcher and writer Alba Morollón Díaz-Faes in Good Company Bookstore!

Fairy-Tale Monsters, Misfits, and Other Selves&nbsp;is a participatory workshop on monstrosity in classic fairy tales. Beginning with a short introduction, the session will explore how fairy tales use monstrous figures not only to stage fear and danger, but also to define, trouble, and sometimes resist social norms. Working with a small selection of traditional tales, participants will reflect on monsters, hidden selves, and identification with otherness through small-group discussion and shared conversation.

Alba Morollón Díaz-Faes&nbsp;is a researcher and writer based in Lisbon. Her work focuses on fairy tales, queer retellings, and the cultural afterlives of traditional narratives across literature and media. She is the author of&nbsp;Tales for Fairies, which traces the queer history of fairy-tale retellings from early literary traditions to contemporary digital culture.

You can grab your copy of&nbsp;Tales for Fairies&nbsp;at the event!&nbsp;

Event is free to attend, but registration is obligatory! Please grab your free ticket quickly!
