“With crisp, toothsome images of the dishes and postcard-worthy shots of Portugal, Mendes’s collection is an inspired, loving tribute to the country.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Chef-restaurateur George Mendes introduces us to the world of Portuguese cuisine, offering 125 mouthwater­ing recipes that showcase the wide range of dishes that come from this coastal country. The collection balances Mendes’s recipes from his Michelin-starred New York restaurant, Aldea, such as his signature Duck Rice and Garlic Seared Shrimp with his takes on classic Portuguese dishes such as Salt Cod, Potato, and Egg Casserole; Mozambique Shrimp and Okra with Piri Piri; Eggs Baked with Peas, Linguiça, and Bacon; Butter Cookies; and more. His stories illustrate the wealth of culinary resources in Portugal—fresh seafood, savory meats, and crisp vegetables. With delicious recipes and stunning photographs of the country, My Portugal takes us on an unforgettable journey. “His cuisine is filled with the intensely satisfying flavors of a casual Portuguese feast—updated with a beautifully modern presentation and technique du jour”—Daniel Boulud

This is a heart-warming and intimate look at a city with a modern, bustling food scene that is nevertheless steeped in centuries-old traditions. Mendes's portraits of Lisbon's idiosyncrasies are threaded throughout the pages: impromptu sardine grills, endless snacking, and city-wide street carnivals.
