Portuguese Homestyle Cooking

Everyone loves Mediterranean food. But how many of us are familiar with genuine Portuguese cooking - a melange of Mediterranean, mountain, and Atlantic coast influences?

The abundant use of legumes and leafy greens in hearty soups and stews, great combos of meat and shellfish, wine and garlic infused entrees, succulent fish dishes, luscious egg-sweet desserts, fresh herb bread...It's all part of the rich and tasty tapestry that Ana Ortins, a passionate Portuguese cook, dishes up in this opulent volume.
