Roughly the
first half of the book deals with Portuguese cheeses. Other
European cheeses are discussed on pp. 122-59. Then there
are sections on cheese at the table, utensils, serving,
conserving, nutritional value, and finally cheese in
cooking. Maria de Lourdes Modesto is the author of several
cookbooks and other books about food, including
Cozinha
tradicional portuguesa, generally
considered one of the best, if not the
best, currently
available book of Portuguese recipes, which has gone
through 19 editions in Portuguese and 4 in English. Manuela
Barbosa, with a degree in pharmacy from the Universidade do
Porto, is a specialist in the technology of milk and
milk-derived products. She is the co-author with Fernando
Vieira de Sá of O leite e
os seus produtos.
