Five Centuries of Portuguese Cuisine: 20 recipes with History

The identity of Portuguese cuisine, national and regional dishes, are relatively recent in historical terms. But, although gastronomic practices, culinary tastes and cooking techniques have evolved over time, much of what we eat today is a legacy of a remote past, so it is possible, in the 21st century, to prepare a recipe with five hundred years and enjoy it in our homes.

This is the purpose of this book, which, presenting us the path traced by the History of Food, proposes that we take five classic works between the 15th and 20th centuries and recreate in our modern kitchens a battery of twenty delicious recipes, including starters, fish and meat dishes, desserts, refreshments, and more.
