À mesa com Camilo

«An attentive and demanding observer, Camilo Castelo Branco (1825 - 1890) left us a testimony of Portuguese society in the 19th century. With fragile health, the writer was faced with the challenge of pleasure, excess and their consequences. The imagination cultivated the discovery of the art of cooking and this book, At the table with Camilo, presents a visit to the flavors of the time, documented with recipes that confirm the dichotomy between rural and city environments, almost always present in the writer's extensive work ».
