The celebration of Portuguese cuisine and culture is a true feast for the eyes! When young illustrator Alexandra Klobouk moved to Lisbon two years ago, she was pleasantly surprised. Young people were celebrating the culture of their country, especially its cuisine. Together with her new friends, she tried out delicious Portuguese recipes and began to draw: fried beans, green eggs, and other tasty small appetizers known as petiscos. The famous bean stew, Feijoada. Fresh squid and other fish. The ubiquitous Bacalhau in all its variations. Drunken rabbits. The variety of sweets and baked goods. The cuisine of Portugal offers an undiscovered treasure of hearty recipes that often rely on just a few ingredients and taste of sun and sea, fresh herbs, olive oil, lemon, and cinnamon. Cooking is one of the most enjoyable forms of cultural exchange, and this is evident on every page of "The Portuguese Kitchen A Cozinha Portuguesa": The atmospheric photographs and charming illustrations not only show how something is made, but this special cookbook also tells the stories behind the dishes, about culinary finesse, and above all, how cooking and eating together simply brings happiness.
