Product Description
Product Description
Everyone loves Mediterranean food. But how many of us are familiar with genuine Portuguese cooking, a melange of Mediterranean, mountain, and Atlantic coast influences? The abundant use of legumes and leafy greens in its hearty soups and stews. The unusual combinations of meat and shellfish. The wine and garlic marinated casseroles. The simple seafood preparations. Luscious egg-sweet desserts. Fresh herb bread. It's all part of the rich and tasty tapestry that Ana Ortins, a passionate Portuguese cook, dishes up in this opulent volume.

Format:Paperback
I've been trying to find a good Portuguese cook book for such a long time, it's not so easy to find here in the UK. Growing up in a house with a Portuguese mother and alot of traditional Portuguese food being cooked...I've grown to love and appreciate the comfort of real Portuguese cookery. I've tried a number of the recipes in this book.. Clams Cataplana, Codfish cakes, Salt cod Gomes de Sa-Style, Shrimp Portuguese style, stewed chicken, roasted chicken with garlic, marinated beefsteaks and the traditonal Bean & Sausage stew (feijoada) and all have been delicious and very authentic, and reminds me of my visits to Portugal as a child and coming home from school to the smell of my mothers cooking. If your looking for what Portuguese food is really all about, then I would say that this is your book. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have!!!!!

Fantastic flavours, and an easy reading style - just love the roast pork with citrus juices, I wouldn't cook pork any other way now.
