Originally published in Lisbon, 1788, this is one of the few original early Portuguese works on cookery. It is the first Portuguese book devoted entirely to pastries, sweets, fruit preserves and the like, and only the third original work on any form of cookery to appear in Portugal: it was preceded by the more general works of Rodrigues and Rigaud. On the 1788 edition, see Innocêncio VIII, 331: noting that he had seen only 2 or 3 copies, and thinking that few knew of it. Lisbon, Biblioteca Nacional, Livros portugueses de cozinha 33. Not in Simon, Bibliotheca gastronomica, or Cagle, A Matter of Taste. Not in Ticknor Catalog.
