Most of my family memories revolve around food, especially family holidays. Everyone knows how important food and wine are in Portuguese culture.In My Portuguese American Kitchen, you'll find classic Portuguese dishes. I have also embraced many American favorites, with a passion.In My Portuguese American Kitchen, I share traditional recipes and some Portuguese inflected recipes. Recipes I made for family and friends, recipes with a Portuguese accent. I also love the lighter bites, perfect with a glass of wine: salt cod puffs, or shrimp cakes. And, I didn't forget the sweets. Moist and delicious coconut cake and the traditional Portuguese rice pudding.My Portuguese American Kitchen has the food that I love and that you and your family will love too. It's a cook book that home cooks will reach for again and again.My Portuguese American Kitchen includes my popular recipe, Stuffed Clams (Quahog Stuffie). Many have asked for this recipe and it's the first time in print.
