Salt Cod, and Green Wine: The History of Portuguese Food
I have been eating Portuguese food long before I understood its history. When I visited Portugal I learned that salt cod, and vinho verde carry centuries of survival, and faith. From bacalhau preserved for the sea to convent desserts made with excess egg yolks, this cuisine is shaped by necessity and community.
