Sinopse: Rita Nascimento is a classically trained pastry chef. Shes had a sweet tooth ever since she can remember, and spent a great part of her childhood drooling outside bakery windows.

She also lived and worked in the USA, Italy and the UK, baking and collecting gastronomic experiences. In 2007 she returned to Portugal and for a few years worked at the worlds worst job (sarcasm alert): developing ice-cream flavours for an artisanal ice-cream brand. In 2014, she started her YouTube channel, La Dolce Rita, where she still shares sweet recipes weekly. Shes the author of six bestselling books of recipes for ice-creams, cookies, cakes, pastries and all kinds of sweets. Currently, she spends her time baking, testing and tasting recipes for her channel, her books and her pastry courses, which she teaches to gourmands all over the country.
