The food of Portugal isn\u2019t very well known outside of Portugal\u2026 at least, it wasn\u2019t until the current wave of interest in Lisbon and Porto. Even now, though most people know what a pastel de nata is, most visitors don\u2019t really know what the Portuguese eat, and so, in 2011, C\u00e9lia Pedroso and Lucy Pepper decided to write this guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u00e9lia is Portuguese and, like every Portuguese person under the sun, is fanatical about food. She is a journalist and much of her time is spent writing about foodish things. She now also hosts food tours (with Culinary Backstreets<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucy is a British illustrator and writer, who fell in love with Portuguese cookery while bringing up her kids just south of Lisbon. She has lived in Portugal since 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat Portugal<\/strong><\/em> contains a glossary all about what the Portuguese love to eat, dictionaries (Portuguese to English and vice versa) to help you understand menus and ask for whatever you want, recipes for many popular Portuguese dishes for when you get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now in five languages, Eat Portugal, Manger come un Portugais<\/strong><\/em>, A La Mesa en Portugal<\/strong><\/em>, K\u00f6stliches Portugal<\/em><\/strong>, and A Tavola in Portogallo<\/em><\/strong>, Eat Portugal is available in bookshops and airports in Portugal and online at online via Lyvros<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
