Publications and other curiosities about Portuguese gastronomy
This will always be a constantly evolving project. Every day we discover a new item and add to it. This list is organised chronologically, and it is not always possible to determine the date of each publication. In these cases, we've chosen to list in the time frame we consider most likely.
In some cases we have a copy of the publication, which we digitise and make the images available. In other cases, we link to scans on other websites.
We hope you enjoy it and if you can contribute in any way to enriching this page, we'd be very grateful.

FROM THE SEA
collection
2nd and 3rd Edition
2nd Edition
Publisher: Livraria Simões Lopes by Manuel Barreira Porto
"The first edition of Arte de Bem Saborear sold out quickly. Our bold initiative to launch a magnificent and extraordinary culinary encyclopaedia on the market, with a very luxurious presentation that matches, if not surpasses, the best of what has been published abroad, was a success and the public responded with encouraging support. We were blown away. And so we promised ourselves to do better.
We promised and, as always, we delivered! This 2nd edition of Arte de Bem Saborear, expanded with new recipes and new illustrations, proves it". - taken from the Editor's Note to the 2nd edition.

Traditional Portuguese cuisine
Traditional Portuguese Cuisine from Maria de Lourdes Modesto
As cookery was not seen as particularly important at the beginning of the 20th century from the point of view of gaining social notoriety, both women and men resorted to anagrams and pseudonyms to hide their real names. Thus, Agarena de Leon is an anagram of Helena de Aragãowhile Auronanda is the pseudonym of Aurora Jardim Aranha, Isalita The Maria Isabel Campos Henriques, Mirene The Maria Irene Andrade Braga da Silva Teixeira e Francine Dupré, that of Maria de Lurdes Modesto who, in the meantime, abandoned it, following the growing interest and popularity that the public was giving it.
