Editorial Reviews

Review

"Portuguese Homestyle Cooking is a beautiful book for those interested in Portuguese gastronomy. It is not only cooking with flavor but with love." — –Portuguese Times

"Lavishly photographed tribute to the dishes of Portugal…charming anecdotes are interspersed throughout the book. She is an astute observer of details, carefully describing how her ingredients should feel, smell and look, rather than simply listing their quantities…Thorough in scope as well as technique, Ortins covers every imaginable facet of Portuguese cooking…Anyone who has ever enjoyed Portuguese cooking and longed to make it at home will find this an indispensable guide." — –Publishers Weekly

"Startlingly delicious…superb…Ortin’s meticulously assembled collection should be widely welcomed…liberally interspersed with words of wisdom from her ‘Pai’ and classic tidbits of folklore…extremely thorough, addressing not only mainland cooking but Portuguese-American variations and the distinctive styles of the Azores islands…Though often built from just a few ingredients, Ortin’s recipes usually yield spectacular results…. Longer more complicated recipes are just as rewarding." — –The Boston Globe
