In this revised and updated edition of her authoritative and
fascinating book Edite Vieira traces the rich legacy of her
country’s culinary excellence from medieval through to modern
times lacing it with history and anecdote and a collection of
authentically delicious recipes. From simple and wholesome peasant
fare to elaborate celebratory meals, ingredients include salt cod
(bacalhau) in all its myriad variations, cumin and oranges are both
remnants of the voyaging past, green coriander is the main
flavouring herb; essentially the food is the food of a country
which grows grapes, peppers, melons, quinces and apples, and few
other countries have such a repertoire of pork dishes. Fresh pork
is much in evidence as well as ham (presunto), pork and red pepper
sausages (chouricos) and black pudding (morcela), all foods very
much in present vogue. Edite Vieira was born in Portugal. She moved
to London where she worked for the BBC as a radio journalist and
programme announcer. She was a cultural affairs correspondent for a
number of magazines but is most highly regarded as the author of
many books including a collection of poetry and for her food
writing and recipe books. She is also the winner of a Gourmand
World Cookbook Award.
