Food of Portugal

Last year purchased for my sister and brother as a Christmas gift. Our parents moved from Portugal to California in 1968. I have been preparing recipes from this book for over 20 plus years. Since I can't read Portuguese - love that author of book translated all the recipes from Portuguese to English. I also like that she has recipes from all the regions of Portugal (like having a recipe book with recipes from each state of U.S.A). Good price point.

Anderson's book is more than a cookbook. Her essays sprinkled into the recipes are as tasty as the recipes she leads you through, step by step.A section on wine and Port history is fascinating. Two of the delicious soups that already have become favorites in our house. My husband and I are vegetarian, but if her pork and beef dishes are as tasty as the vegetable and seafood dishes, meat eaters are in for a treat.

Bought this one for my sister. I got mine at a Portuguese Festival and it has some recipes my mom use to make. I love it . So does my sis.

It's ok. We refer to it, but we don't use it as much as "Authentic Portuguese Coooking" by Ana Ortins. =)

Although I have the original hard-cover edition - purchased in 1986 - I continue to give this wonderful book as a gift to friends and family who enjoy Portuguese food. My husband is Portuguese-born, so this book meets all his (and most importantly, his mother's) criteria for authentic ingredients and taste. And because the cuisine of Portugal varies from region to region we have even discovered favorite recipes with which he was not familiar.

I gave my daughter-in-law and her sister copies of this book. They are Portuguese but live in Australia. They say it's excellent; the ingredients are reasonably easily obtainable; the book brings back wonderful memories of home cooking when they lived in Portugal; and they can now shares those memories with their Australian families. I'm fortunate to enjoy some of their cooking. Recommended.

Great item with lot of information regarding Portugal traditions and gastronomy.Excellent condition and lots of recipes to enjoy in standard measures (pounds and ounces).

Being from Portugal myself, I find the recepies very authentic. As well as recepies from diferent zones of the country. Great work
