Taste of Portugal

A revelatory collection of mouthwatering recipes and fascinating anecdotes about the singular cuisine and storied history of Portugal.

Revised and updated, this authoritative and fascinating cookbook traces the legacy of Portugal’s culinary excellence from medieval to modern times through a collection of recipes that are unforgettable, accessible, and completely authentic—all interwoven with a rich pageant of historical context. From simple and wholesome peasant fare to elaborate celebratory meals, ingredients include salt cod (bacalhau) in all its myriad variations, cumin and oranges redolent of the country’s voyaging past, and green coriander as the cuisine’s main flavoring herb.
