Barbara Guimarães was among the public figures present at the opening of the new Delta Coffee House Experience store at Cais do Sodré, in Lisbon, last July, and spoke with the News to Minutes.
The host said she's going on vacation in the last fortnight of August, but these will be a few days' rest here in the north of the country. “Tranquilo, which is how I like it, in the middle of the field.”
“I take two days to go in an instant to the Algarve to do something and then I come back, work. I will intercalate”, he added.
Currently with the “Elite Design” program in hand, the host revealed that soon it will debut a new season, which “It is already being recorded and on a good path”. “With exceptional houses, great decorators. We're decentralizing a little more, doing Alentejo, north, center... And it's been going great, it's an adventure. Each program is a discovery”, also shared, making a “very positive” assessment of this experience.
Barbara Guimarães, remember, had previously done a program linked to the industry of interior designer, the “And Now What Do I Do?”, having worked at the time with architect Ricardo Seguro Pereira, who died in 2023, at the age of 37.
“I had previously done the program with Ricardo Seguro, which for me was one of the great losses of my life Ricardo’s death. We did that program that was to remodel a certain space of the house – either a living room, or a kitchen, or a balcony...”, he recalled.
“ In this «Elite Design» is the decorator that makes the whole concept, also architecture and decoration. Which is good because there are always great solutions for houses of any size”, commented later, stating that “worship decoration”. In fact, he says, “each decorator, architect, is a world, so it’s always different” and manages to get a lot of ideas to use in his personal life. “To everything, to tell friends... I love it.”
Still during the conversation with the News to Minutes, Barbara Guimarães stressed that “he is very happy with his work”, which is, says, “diversified”. “I make many presentations, many events. Then some totally different things. I like the diversity of my life.”
Barbara Guimarães, to remember also, participated in the program of Fátima Lopes, “Here There Taste”, which was launched last year. At the time, Fátima Lopes went to Barbara Guimarães' house and prepared a feijoada.
“Fátima Lopes made an excellent feijoada and quickly. We do not agree on the filled, but it is cute because I like to cook”, he recalled, having still retreated to his participation in the program of Ljubomir Stanisic, “Hell’s Kitchen”.
“The kitchen I gave to the viewers was my presence in the “Hell’s Kitchen” where I, all the shows, only told Ljubomir Stanisic, the chef, please kick me out. I can get kicked out, it's okay, really. And she wasn't expelled because she was always in teams. I passed between the raindrops almost to the end of the edition, but it wasn't supposed to, it wasn't. He asked to be expelled”he did.
“ It was a unique experience, very good, very hard work, people can't imagine. Marisa and I suffered a lot. There's a moment when Marisa and I are both helping each other, making the same dish, and Marisa puts the bottle of plastic olive oil on the grill. It was olive oil everywhere. It was a rich infernal experience”, i said right away.
“ But I really like to cook, [especially] to cook for more people. Alone, honestly, I don't cook just for myself. I prefer to call those gentlemen who come to the door ", finally, confessed between laughter.
