The recipes in this book have that home-cooking feel to them. They tend to be hardy, comfort food that puts meat on your bones and delivers protein and vegetables in abundance. Many of them are peasant dishes designed for serving to the family. Delicious! Meals for real people. Eng Tie Ang has obviously dedicated her life to food, and it shows in these books. The recipes take a few short cuts here and there, but the quality doesn't suffer as a result. This makes them even more useful for the mother who's cooking for the family. I love that!

Best easy Brazilian cookbook

My husband and I lived in Brazil and Portugal. The recipes are authentic and easy to follow. I make the beef kebobs with onion and pepper and the brazilian black beans whenever I have a party. Everyone loves them. The flavors are different and the recipes are in general fairly healthy.
