Piri Piri Starfish by Tessa Kiros

Portugal Found

Tessa Kiros turns her attention to Portugal, exploring the country's food, people, traditions and wonderfully old-fashioned way of life.

Part cookbook and part travel journal, Piri Piri Starfish follows Tessa and her family through Portuguese markets, seaside towns and kitchens, with recipes inspired by everything from piri piri and bacalhau to pastéis de nata.

Like all of Tessa's books, it's as much about a sense of place as it is about recipes — beautifully photographed and designed, and made for both cooking from and simply leaving on the coffee table.

Food, travel, the sea and Portugal — a bloody beautiful book.
