When it comes to the great cuisines of Europe, most of us zero in on the big three: France, Spain and Italy, however Portugal has a rich gastronomic tradition and its contribution to the culinary world has been immense. Famous for seafood and Mediterranean influence, it’s the colonial past that has introduced a wide variety of spices including piri piri – African bird’s eye chili pepper, black pepper, cinnamon, vanilla and saffron. Olive oil is one of the bases for cooking and flavouring food as is garlic and herbs such as bay and parsley are widely used.
