Pros: Lots of information about Portugal and assorted ingredients; delicious recipes and a few relevant photographs. Cons: Some recipes use ingredients many people don't have lying around; preparation time is sometimes lengthy.
Though I was raised largely on Portuguese food, The Food of Portugal presented to me a lot of recipes that I had never heard of, much less tried. I'm sure the facts that a) I have never been to Portugal, b) my grandmother was not really that...
Pros: Everything tastes great! Cons: Several recipes require meat to marinate for 48 hours first
I bought this book - The Food of Portugal by Jean Anderson - because a friend recommended it to me. It has become one of the most often used cookbooks in my house. I have yet to try a recipe from it that hasn't come out tasting great!
