” With Lisboeta, I feel guided through the cuisine of Portugal`s capital city. This book not only shares the warmth of Nuno`s cooking but also tells the stories behind eating in Lisbon, one of Europe`s great food cultures.” René Redzepi Lisbon is known as Portugal`s ` City of Light`, its beautiful, tiled buildings & cobbled streets illuminated by the reflections of the nearby waters. It is also one of the great undiscovered culinary centres of Europe. Internationally renowned chef Nuno Mendes is a ` Lisboeta` (native of Lisbon) & in this groundbreaking cookbook, he invites you to experience his favourite places, & the incredible food you will discover there. Sharing recipes inspired by the dishes that he loves, Nuno takes you through a typical day in Lisbon. Here you will discover the secrets to the most delicious pastéis de nata, the custard tarts for which Lisbon is so famous, & bolas de Berlim, fluffy doughnuts stuffed with custard that are sold on the beach. For lunch you might sample some typical seafood, like squid sizzling in a pan with garlic & coriander, or grilled sardines with a roasted green pepper salad. & as night draws in, Nuno offers his recipes for rich & warming dishes like slow-baked lamb chanfana & roasted orange-rub pork belly with fennel
- which may even be followed with a cheeky prego sandwich after dinner. These are the heart-warming, vibrant dishes of a city with a modern, bustling food scene that is nevertheless steeped in centuries-old traditions. Nuno`s portraits of Lisbon`s idiosyncrasies are threaded through the pages: impromptu sardine grills, endless snacking & city-wide street carnivals. With luminous photography shot on location, this book will bring to life Portugal`s magnificent capital city & its fabulous cuisine.

Lisbon had a pivotal role in the history of WWII, though not a gun was fired there. Portugal played a deft political game; although it was Britain`s oldest ally, it remained neutral during the conflict, thereby deterring German, or, more immediately, Fascist Spanish aggression. Its capital became a city in which both the Allies & the Axis powers did business, & watched each other obsessively. Lisbon was an open port for ships & the Pam Am Clipper flights to America, &, for the lucky refugees, freedom from the chaos engulfing Europe. In the fictional film ” Casablanca”, it is to Lisbon that the fleeing refugees are going; in reality, Lisbon was described by one British operative as ”like ” Casablanca”, only twenty times more.” As well as being temporary home to much of Europe`s exiled royalty (including the Duke & Duchess of Winsdor), thousands of refugees passed through Lisbon en route to the U.S. (among them, Peggy Guggenheim & Max Ernst), & a host of spies (like Ian Fleming, who based ” Casino Royale” on his hotel on the Portuguese coast) were secreted there. In this riveting narrative, Neill Lochery draws on high-level Portuguese contacts, access to records recently uncovered from Portuguese secret police & banking archives, & other unpublished documents to offer a revelatory portrait of the subterfuge capital of World War II. Central to the drama is the story of how Portugal, a relatively poor European country in 1939, survived the war not only physically intact, but significantly wealthier. Lisbon ended the war stuffed with gold, much of it looted by Germany during the war & then exchanged for the vital armament component wolfram, which was mined in Portugal. The country`s emergence as a European Union nation would be financed in part by the hundreds of tons of stolen Nazi gold which Portugal kept at the war`s end, avoiding the postwar reparations that applied almost everywhere else. To the end, the shadowy secret places of Lisbon served the country extremely well. ...
