Takes me back to my heritage,
By
This review is from: Postcards from Portugal: Memories and Recipes (Hardcover)
Postcards from Portugal is special to me. It gives me so much more than delicious traditional portuguese recipes. It has beautiful pictures of the food and of Portugal itself. Tessa's book includes recipes that my mother has made over the years which at times are difficult to find as she is from the Azores. This book offers something for every Portuguese person and of course to everyone interested in the comfort food that Portugal has to offer.
