The very best of Portuguese cuisine – fully plant-based, absolutely delicious
A less well-known fact about Portuguese culture is that we are one of the very few countries in the world where people sit at the table eating delicious meals while discussing other delicious meals they have eaten or will soon eat. Yes, we are a food-fascinated nation; and now, you too can share in this fascination, hands-on, with a collection of plant-based versions of the best of Portuguese cuisine, by our nationally bestselling vegan chef.
Gabriela Oliveira creates and cooks the most delicious plant-based meals, with her signature fuss-free, simple and can’t-fail recipes. For this book, she has brought together some of her favourite treats from the Portuguese gastronomic tradition, from classics like the world-renowned Alheira Sausage (made from mushrooms), Leeks à Brás and Tofu Francesinha, to lesser-known delicacies such as Vinha d’Alhos (wine and garlic marinade), Tempeh and veggie Pataniscas (fritters), and vegan sweet treats like Rice Pudding, Almond Tart and the famous Portuguese Custard Tarts – all outrageously delicious, easy to make, and even easier to devour.
An irresistible delicacy for gourmands of all nationalities, Portuguese Vegan Treats will allow you to recreate, in your very own home, the indulgence of those long lunchtimes on an esplanada or dinners that turn into late-night suppers in your favourite tasca – all made by your very own hands. Bom apetite!
