Book Overview

In the 16th century, Portuguese navigators circumvented the globe, conquering new lands to build one of history's largest empires, and at the same time carrying and introducing crops, food products and a variety of culinary cultures to all corners of the earth. This fascinating collection of 225 authentic recipes is the first cookbook to encompass the entire Portuguese-speaking world and explains how Portugal and its former colonies influenced each other's culinary traditions. Included are dishes containing Asian, South American, African, and European spices, along with varied ingredients like piripiri pepper, coconut milk, cilantro, manioc root, bananas, dried fish, seafood and meats. The author also explores the impact of Sephardic Jews on the cuisines of Cape Verde, Angola, and Brazil and the influence of the Moors, who brought to the Iberian peninsula rich desserts, which the Portuguese in turn took around the world. The recipes range from appetisers like: Pastel com o Diabo Dentro (Pastry with the Devil Inside from Cape Verde); to main courses such as Frango ? Africana (Grilled Chicken African Style from Mozambique) and Cuscuz de Camar?o (Shrimp Couscous from Brazil), to desserts like Pudim de C?co (Coconut Pudding from Timor). Menus for religious holidays and festive occasions, a glossary, a brief history of the cuisines and a bilingual index will assist the home chef in creating meals that celebrate the rich, diverse, and delicious culinary legacy of this old empire.

Around the world in your kitchen

I bought this book out of curiosity and I am glad I bought it. It's the sheer variety of food, cuisine styles, ingredients. They come from all continents and latitudes. Most ingredients are easily available from large supermarkets or specialist shops. There is a list of mail-order sources, but they are in the United States. The glossary helps in more than one way. I couldn't find morcela but the glossary suggested black pudding...

Thank you for the PANATAS

This is an excellent cookery book with a lot of variety, not much can be missing. In all the places where I have been in Portugal all the cake shops have these delicious egg and cream tartlets with sugar and cinnamon on top they call pasteis de nata. Now you can buy them in the UK, where they are known by the abbreviated name PANATAS. Some supermarket chains stock them but not near where I live. When I saw a recipe for pasteis...

Delicious and educational

I had never seen such a happy combination of food and history. I have tried quite a few recipes in the book. They are all delicious. The cooking instructions are quite straightforward, and work. But that's not all. With these recipes you travel around the world, with the Portuguese in their 16th century travels. That's great. Another thing I enjoy in the book is that you get to know how the different ingredients came together...

Excellent Guide to an Unusual Cuisine

I just found a great new cookbook. In the 16th century the Portuguese developed one of history's greatest empires. The Portuguese empire, in turn, created a diverse cuisine that was influenced by the local crops and recipes of many different nations, with a strong emphasis on seafood. Cuisines of Portuguese Encounters by Cherie Hamilton is filled with fantastic, easy-to-follow recipes that capture these amazing and unusual...

A nice change of pace!

Contrary to the other review written, I found the recipes easy to make and the ingredients easy to find. I also felt the insight to Portuguese history an added bonus - perfect amount for a cookbook. Obviously not meant to be done textbook style! I highly recommend this cookbook!
