Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Bean soup with tomato (Sopa de feijão com tomate)

    • alysekstokes on March 23, 2026

      This is a really soul-warming and tasty soup. I made a few modifications to the method: - Used some cooked Rancho Gordo Domingo rojo beans I had in the freezer and, after thawing, pureed half of them with their liquid (and the extra water specified) in my Vitamix instead of using a food mill. - I simply cored and chopped my tomato; peeling felt like a bridge too far for a weeknight dinner. Otherwise I stuck to the recipe and was so pleased with the results. This is hearty but not heavy—ideal for a cool early spring day!

  • Chicken pies (Empadas de galinha)

    • mcvl on May 26, 2011

      Wednesday, 25 May 2011 Delicious empanada (empada in Portuguese) filling. I was starting with already cooked chicken, so steeped the meat rather than simmering it. I used the half-white-wine, half-white-wine-vinegar option. The filling seemed a touch dry, so I used some of the broth and some other chicken broth I had on hand to make a regular flour-based gravy to serve on top. For the pastry cases, I used Anya von Bremzen's Olive Oil & Saffron Pastry from The New Spanish Table, one of my favorite doughs of all time. Very, very well received -- anything in a pastry case is a big hit in my house, but this was really special.

Publishers Text

The Mediterranean diet is famed for its fresh and vibrant cuisine. In this book, Ana Patuleia Ortins invites you to discover or revisit the soul-comforting, peasant food of Portugal, just as vibrant, yet distinct from that of its neighbors. Peppered with a lifetime of anecdotes from a passionate cook, Portuguese Home Cooking draws us into an immigrant kitchen where traditional culinary methods were handed down from father to daughter, shared and refined with the help of the family and friends who watched, chopped, and tasted.

The recipes in this cookbook are of dishes prepared as they are in Portugal with the measurements tried and tested, and the ingredients and methods fully explained. With warmth and gusto, Ana Patuleia Ortins shares garden-fresh salads, hearty wine and garlic braises, legumes and leafy greens, meat and shellfish dishes, rustic breads, and the luscious desserts for which Portugal is known. Beautiful food and location photography will transport you to Portugal's picturesque countryside, and novices and experienced chefs alike will delight in the culture and cuisine, whether nostalgic for home, or discovering it for the first time.
