Accessible and authentic recipes from the beautiful Portuguese capital.

Full of history, great food, and bursting with character, Portugal’s capital is one of Europe’s most charming cities. In Lisbon, Rebecca Seal shares her favorite recipes, inspired by her travels.

Set on seven hills, Lisbon features world-class beaches, city views, and wild forests. And the food is as diverse as the surroundings—there’s so much more to it than just cod and custard tarts.

Featuring over 80 accessible recipes based on traditional Portuguese cuisine, including Caldo Verde (kale soup), Amêijoas à Bulhão Pato (clams in white wine and garlic), and “petiscos” (Portuguese tapas).

From the bars of Bairro Alto to the cafes in Chiado, there’s something for everyone. All set to the stunning backdrop of eighteenth century buildings, ornate churches, nostalgic trams, and pastel-colored houses, Lisbon is a stunning cookbook.
