Taste of Macau Portuguese Cuisine on the China Coast

Over 450 years ago, the Portuguese landed in what was to be the first European colony in Asia, Macau, bringing their culture and their cuisine. This lavishly illustrated cookbook is the first to introduce to the English-speaking world one of the oldest "fusion" cuisines in Asia. It includes 62 recipes, most of which are straight from the source-old family recipe collections or the files of influential Macanese chefs. "Taste of Macau can be used as a complete reference guide to Macanese cuisine, as it includes information on ingredients and where to buy them, stories and information about the few remaining authentic restaurants in Macau, and a fascinating discussion on the relationship between food and culture through literary excerpts and personal testimonies from important figures in the Macanese community.Jackson, Annabel is the author of 'Taste of Macau Portuguese Cuisine on the China Coast', published 2004 under ISBN 9780781810227 and ISBN 0781810221.
