The New Portuguese Table by David Leite

This new cook book by David Leite will inspire you to try the classic dishes and he also shares his own unique take on the originals.

His nostalgic trip back to his roots in Portugal will remind you of your own family’s traditions. As I prepared one of my favorite dishes,  “Cod Fish Cakes” , I became slightly teary eyed as I saw the vision of my dear mother standing beside me, and showing me, almost the identical recipe as his when I was about twelve so many years ago.

Don’t be afraid! Go back, explore your cultural roots and carry on the traditions of our Portuguese cuisine into the melting pot of what we call “America”.

Bye
