5.0 out of 5 stars A very inviting guide to not just the cuisine of Portugal, but its culture., February 2, 2007

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

The author gathered Portuguese recipes from family and friends for her Flavors of Portugal, so the book holds many surprises you won't discover in competing Portuguese cookbooks. Color photos pack a survey that also includes both cultural notes and insights on recipe origins and oddities. Dishes such as Traditional Oven-Roasted Sardines and Shrimp Rissoles make the most of seafood, so access to a good fresh seafood market is essential. Readers with such access will find this a very inviting guide to not just the cuisine of Portugal, but its culture.

i enjoyed this book. it's so difficult to get a book that has both languages. it was fun and i was able to brush up not only on my portuguese, but have recipes that i was brought up on. thanks for the opportunity. the vendor made quick contact notifying me that they had recieved my order and promptly shipped it. much appreciated for the great service. Thank you!
