Description: Nestled between
the Atlantic Ocean and Spain, Portugal is today’s hot-spot vacation
destination, and world travelers are enthralled by the unique yet familiar
cuisine of this country. The New Portuguese Table takes you on a culinary
journey into the soul of this fascinating nation and looks at its 11
surprisingly different historical regions, as well as the island of Madeira and
the Azores, and their food culture, typical dishes, and wines. This book also
showcases Portugal's pantry of go-to ingredients, such as smoked sausages,
peppers, cilantro, seafood, olive oil, garlic, beans, tomatoes, and bay
leaves—all beloved by Americans and now combined in innovative ways.
In The New
Portuguese Table, David Leite provides a contemporary look at the flavorful
food of this gastronomic region, sharing both the beloved classics he remembers
from cooking at his grandmother’s side, such as Slowly Simmered White Beans and
Sausage, as well as modern dishes defining the country today, like Olive
Oil–Poached Fresh Cod with Roasted Tomato Sauce. With full-color photographs
throughout and a contemporary perspective, The New Portuguese Table is the
handbook to the exciting cuisine of Portugal.
