Traditional Portuguese Recipes from Provincetown
No one from Provincetown's Portuguese community realized that as time went by many of the traditional recipes, most of which were handed down by word of mouth from mother to daughter, would be lost unless they were recorded. Fortunately, Alice Cook has compiled a book documenting the authentic Portuguese recipes from her family and friends. She is meticulous about the authenticity of the dishes as they were prepared in the old days, even though some may have been adapted to local ingredients. --The Provincetown Advocate, 1984, Grace Gouveia
