포르투갈: 더 쿡북

I bought this after a trip to Lisbon and it's exactly what I hoped for—the alheira and cataplana recipes taste like the real thing. Photos are gorgeous too, and the notes on each region's history make it more than just a recipe collection.

I bought this after a trip to Lisbon and it's exactly what I hoped for—recipes from the Alentejo and Azores, not just the usual Lisbon stuff. The photos alone made me want to cook my way through the whole thing.

The regional breakdown is what sold me—you get dishes from the Azores and Alentejo, not just the usual mainland favorites. Photos are sparse, so if you like a picture with every recipe it's a bit plain, but the instructions themselves are solid.
