highly recommended

Peppered with a lifetime of anecdotes from a passionate cook's years in a Portuguese culture, Portuguese Homestyle Cooking draws us into an immigrant kitchen where traditional culinary methods were handed down from father to daughter, shared and refined with the help of the family and friends who watched, chopped, and tasted. The recipes in Portuguese Homestyle Cooking are of dishes prepared as they were in Portugal-but with the measurements standardized and perfected and the commonly used ingredients and methods fully explained. Novices and experienced chefs alike will enjoy preparing these savory dishes.

Great for new portuguese cookers

I am portuguese through my mother but the past three generations of family have given up their language and traditions for an American life. This book has excellent traditional meals and a little bit of history as well. The recipes are easy for me to follow.


Great Book, replaces all of our missing recipes from childhood

All of my favorite portuguese dishes are represented in this book. Most portuguese women back in the day did not have recipes written down for common and uncommon dishes. They were simply passed down from mother to daughter through the generations. That is easily disrupted by modern life, especially in the U.S. We now have recipes that mirror the food I was brought up with.

My personal favorites are:
Alcatara
Masa Sovada - the BEST bread in the world
Caldo Verde - great soup!
Bacalao - a wonderfully different journey in fish that non-portuguese people would love and have tasted nothing like it.

Best Portuguese Cookbook ever!!!

This cookbook is the best book I have ever purchased. By far, this book has brought me back to my childhood memories of recipes that my aunts and grandparents used to make for us. The recipes are easy to follow and very well written. Thanks Ana!!!!


Portuguese Cookbook, Moosewood Cookbooks and the Mediterranean Cookbook.

I found this cookbook to be amazing, what I expected and so much more. Sometimes it is difficult to imagine if the cookbook is really that good. This one is more than I imagined. It has so many wonderful recipes that are easy to follow and come out looking and tasting just like wonderful. Thank you.

The same applies to the Moosewood and Mediterranean cookbooks I purchased. I am very pleased with Amazon, their prices, and the customers ability to "check it out" before the purchase.

Again, thank you.
