REVIEWS:
| “Jean Anderson is probably the food
world’s
greatest authority on Portuguese cooking, having made 54
trips there in the past 25 years. This fascinating and
beautiful book (also photographed by the author) is the
culmination of 10 years of research and testing. It is
a valuable contribution to the realm of ethnic food.”

The Pleasures of Cooking |
| “Ms. Anderson
has written many good cookbooks, but this one surpasses
the rest. It is the result of a 25-year passion for the
land, people, and food of Portugal. Such books are rare;
buy this one and read it– even cook from it.” |

“Portugal, as much as Portuguese cooking,
is the subject of this book, which is enlivened by veteran
food writer Anderson’s familiarity with the country’s
people, regions, rivers, and markets. The narrative is
buoyed by historical notes, reminiscences, and tips on
the best inns and restaurants in Portugal.” |

| “Anderson
breaks new ground here with a big book on a cuisine that
is virtually unknown outside its own country. . . Portuguese
food is not at all what most people think: ‘just
like the Spanish’ . . . It deserves, and now it has,
its own major cookbook.” |
