Portugal: The Cookbook

Product Information

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. As with other food titles in Phaidon’s international food bible series, this book similarly spotlights the contributions of guest chefs – Portuguese culinary stars from acclaimed restaurants – many of whom are established cookbook authors with global name recognition, including José Avillez, Vasco Coelho Santos, George Mendes, Ana Gonçalves and Zijun Meng, and Nuno Mendes. The book is a mix of traditional dishes from his grandma to modern interpretations of Portugal’s gastronomy.
