:) I have a friend who's been to Portugal. Maybe she can suggest a favorite dish.
It's been too hot to cook here for a few days, so I've just been reading cookbooks. |

I found the Scandinavia book!
My mom says she had the whole set once (inherited it), but gave it away. :( |

Ron, Portugual is my neighbor and I have been to Lisbon several times ( 1 / 2 hour flight via Tap Air or Iberia Airlines ) .. I have several books on a wide variety of Portuguese regions .. Is there something specific that you are looking for ? 365 Days a year promoted by the Tourist Office, with 365 Cod Fish Dishes !! The Squid is amazing and so are the hugh red prawns amongst other sea adventures .. However, the cuisine in the North has alot of similarities to Galician Rias Biaxas Cuisine and the Duero which is red wine country near Salamanca, is quite similar to this western border región of Spain. The southern coastal área Algarve, is similar in cuisine to Cadíz and Huelva on the southern Atlantic .. I had bought a few books at the International Book fair last year in Lisbon. They speak English and Spanish very well .. If you send me an email or message via F.B., I can scan a few récipes for you. Have a lovely weekend .. |

I'm TRYING to be thrifty, because COVID's messing with my job situation, but 6 books for $27, including a couple I've never seen for sale- I couldn't resist.

Youngest Nephew (15) is turning out to be a talented baker. I got him the Scandinavia book and recipe booklet for Christmas.

It's not quite the same without photos. I hope he likes them. He sounded interested in the danish pastries. He made a great chocolate mousse cake for my birthday. (From scratch!)

Hi Melissa. Great to hear from you.
Is your nephew just interested in pastries? Or does he want to make bread, too? If so you might direct him to my bread primer: http://www.foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/the-staff-of-life-a-primer-on-baking-bread_topic3089.html It's really nice hearing about somebody that young developing an interest in the culinary arts. Not very common, despite what some food celebrities claim. Hope he stays with it.

His favorite thing seems to be cakes. He made pineapple upside-down cake when he was 11.

Hmmmmmm? I wonder if that's a later edition? My copy of that one is white, with a photo of a glass container of herring, a cheese of some kind, and a glass of, what I presume to be, aquivit.
Too bad about the recipe booklet. I'd contact the seller about it. But, meanwhile, there certainly are enough recipes in the book to whet his whistle. And, let's face it, there is a plentitude of Scandinavian recipes on the web, if the topic trips his trigger. He made a pineapple upside-down cake when he was 11.
How ironic. When I was about 12, in the Scouts, I made a pineapple upside-down cake in foil, on an open fire. Won the cooking merit badge on the strength of that cake. |

I read them at least as much for the culture as the recipes.

I too love The Time Life and The Culinaria for the history, geographical, products, cultural and photography as well. Great for research especially when travelling too. Dessert Cookbooks: I love the Le Cordon Bleu Series for Desserts .. I love the Chocolate edition. They also have an amazing selection of books on appetisers, winter specialties, sauces, soups etcetra. Got mine at an International Book Festival held in May yearly except for 2020 .. Take care, getting late here now. Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. |
