Uma Casa Portuguesa: Portuhuese Home Cooking

I just received this. I have rarely been this pleased by a paperback. The size and design of the book make it easy to physically use. The layouts and fonts used make it very, very easy to read and use. Also, the recipes are from scratch, but do Not require "impossible to find or afford" ingredients. By looking at the ingredient flavors, I am sure I will enjoy this book.

Uma Casa Portuguesa : Portuguese Home Cooking As the other reviewers have stated, these authentic recipes will definately bring back the memories and the tears. It will be the only Portugeuse cookbook you will need. my mother was a great cook, but never wrote anything down. While she was alive, I bought the book and she was amazed that these were authentic and true to the Casa Portuguesa style of homecooking. You will not be sorry!

I'm a beginner cook, but have been eating portuguese food all my life. This book makes it easy for me to make all my favorites from my childhood! I recommend it to all azorean people or portuguese people. The recipes are distinct from the continental food, and this book will teach you how to cook them properly!!

I first found out about Carla's book in 1992 when a local newspaper wrote an article about her. Being of portuguese descent and born in Canada I didn't have the time to learn along side my mother to cook our native dishes. The first time I prepared rice pudding.. it brought tears to my eyes as it was identical to my mothers. all the receipes are easy, her introduction is good as it gives you the terms of our spices andvegetables. It's a great book and I'm buying one for my oldest daugther as she has requested a copy.

This cookbook offers traditional portuguese cooking with contemporary methods. The recipes are easy and delicious.
