Portugal: The Cookbook

Product Information

Maria shares her recipes in a simple, educational and enjoyable way with a focus on a delicious meal. Each recipe is accompanied by a short introduction describing the dish's history, its place in a region's cuisine, or advice on regional ingredients or cooking techniques. Like all precious Phaidon's Cookbooks, each recipe has icons indicating whether dishes are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, can be prepared in 30 minutes or less, and use five or fewer ingredients. Whether you are a novice cook or experienced cook, you can easily attempt these Portuguese dishes in your own kitchen. Far from just a simple primer, Portugal: The Cookbook serves as a gastronomic history of the county, detailing how, for example, tempura-style battered vegetables were first introduced to Japan by Portuguese traders; or how Portugal’s nuns took the egg yolks left over from the wine trade (egg whites were used to clarify wine), and developed a culinary niche for rich pastries, including the the world-famous pastel de nata.
