Negative Positive
Title: Very silly recipes are the norm in this book.
Review: The author sports a cloak of authenticity and scholarly intentions. She does not come through with either. I do not believe the recipes were tested. Short, self serving, name dropping essays do not compensate for the lack of good recipes. Her presentation of the history of Portuguese influence on international cusine is extremely limited and shallow. Recipe ingredient lists do not ring true. A complete waste of my time and money.
