Eat Smart in Portugal - eBook

$5.99
Michelin-rated restaurants and country-style home-cooking are given equal treatment in the newest release of the internationally acclaimed Eat Smart culinary guidebook series. That means savoring a “dip in the sea” (Mergulho do Mar), a dish featuring poached sea bass with bivalves and marine plants created by Michelin-starred Lisbon chef José Avillez, to simply dipping a spoon into a round of queijo da Serra, the creamy ewe’s-milk cheese from the high plateaus of the Serra da Estrela.

Authentic Portuguese dining begins, of course, with the famed bacalhau or salt cod, cooked in, so the saying goes, 365 different ways. It is also smoky, grilled sardines; flavorful chouriço sausage in the country’s prized soup, caldo verde; and pastéis de nata, those internationally-famous custard tarts; not to mention well-traveled port wine from grapes grown in the Douro river valley. But so much more defines the cuisine.

Often associated with Spanish (or Iberian) cookery, Portuguese gastronomy deserves to stand on its own. The variety of seafood dishes evokes Portugal’s geographic place on the western edge of continental Europe. The use of rice and spices acknowledges Portugal’s early and proud maritime history. Hundreds of different breads and cakes underscore the importance of regional difference even in a globalized world.

Eat Smart in Portugal connects menus and markets to geography, history, and regional pride. The easy-to-use guide includes these practical and fun features:
  • dozens of delicious recipes from chefs and other food experts that allow travelers and cookbook lovers to recreate Portuguese specialties at home
  • a Menu Guide that demystifies food selection, allowing visitors to order with confidence
  • a Food and Flavors Guide that provides a comprehensive list of foods, spices, and more to assist shoppers at colorful markets
  • an explanation of culinary history that covers the origins and varieties of​ ingredients, regional recipes, and well-known Portuguese favorites
  • a translation of useful phrases that eases the challenge of shopping for food or placing an order in restaurants
  • glossaries that introduce food and cooking terms in Portuguese and English​

Eat Smart in Sicily - eBook

$5.99

Rich with seafood, citrus, olives, and almond sweets, the cuisine of the sun-drenched island of Sicily reflects the influence of Greeks, Norman French, Tunisians, and Italians, among others. Unlike guidebooks that sweep Sicily into an overview of Italy, this latest addition to the award-winning Eat Smart series focuses solely on the cuisine of Sicily. Eat Smart in Sicily provides an historical overview of the peoples who have lived there and their contributions to Sicilian cuisine, with attention given to the fare distinct to the villages and urban centers of Sicily’s four regions. A helpful guide to Sicilian menus, with English translations of Italian (or Sicilian) words, makes ordering food in Sicily an easy and immediately rewarding experience. Highlighting regional recipe mainstays, Joan Peterson and Marcella Croce provide tips to shopping for traditional ingredients in Sicily and at home. The book also includes a comprehensive glossary of foods, kitchen utensils, and cooking methods to prepare authentic Sicilian specialties at home or abroad.
