About the book
Portugal: The Cookbook brings together more than 550 classic and modern recipes that reflect the country’s culinary breadth and historical influences. Written by the acclaimed chef Leandro Carreira, the book offers an in-depth look into Portugal’s vibrant food culture and its international significance.
The recipes cover every region — from fish and shellfish from the Algarve, to hearty stews from the Douro Valley and the iconic cakes and pastries from Lisbon. Through extensive research, Carreira has recreated dishes that capture both traditional and contemporary Portugal.
Language: English.
The recipes include, among others:
- Dishes with fish, shellfish, and squid
- Meat and vegetable stews from inland Portugal
- Classic Portuguese soups, rice dishes, and desserts
- Beloved pastries such as pastéis de nata and pão de ló
In addition to the many recipes, the book includes an introduction to Portugal’s culinary history, regional differences, and the global influence the country has had for centuries. Carreira’s approach combines respect for tradition with a modern perspective on ingredients, techniques, and flavor balance.
Portugal: The Cookbook is a visually and professionally solid work that serves as both a source of inspiration and a reference for chefs and food enthusiasts who want to understand Portugal’s gastronomic roots.
