About Manny Lopes

I fell in love with cooking at a young age from family & chefs at the family’s former restaurant, Specializing in traditional Portuguese & Brazilian cuisine as well as from fun family meals & cookouts.

I enjoy cooking with my children Franc, Jackie & Thom, hence the creation of “Cooking with DAD.” Cooking with my children has helped to build a special camaraderie with them & has taught them and me valuable cultural lessons & cooking skills.

The show features DAD, cooking favorite meals with my children as well as other family members & friends.

Cooking with DAD TV is family oriented show where DAD cooks with sons Franc & Thom & Daughter Jaclyn as well as family & friends, exploring family favorites & new & exciting recipes to have fun with.
