Since the nineteenth century, the Bolho Market in Porto has been the culinary hub of Northern Portugal, where farmers, fishermen, and artisan food producers (think wine, cheese, and olive oil) have gathered to sell their products and swap their stories in the open air. Due to the rise of chains and supermarkets, the number of vendors has slowly dwindled, and the market's walls have crumbled into disrepair-but the space still pulses with knowledge earned over generations and the rich culinary heritage of the region. Although locals and tourists, newly interested in artisan products and organic produce, have started to visit Bolho Market in greater numbers, its fate remains in question. Again and again, the local government has promised revitalization efforts, but even if they happen, there is no guarantee that vendors-mostly octogenarian grandmothers-can afford to come back, or that a piece of the market's Old World charm will not be lost. That's why Gabriella Opaz and Sonia Andresson Nolasco have preserved these local women's stories and recipes in Porto, a heartfelt portrait of a place as told by the people keeping its legacy alive. Divided into chapters that highlight Northern Portuguese staples-bread, produce, seafood, cured meats, and more-this book introduces one of the world's greatest, though often overlooked, culinary regions, and provides invaluable advice for what to see, do, and taste when you visit.

Reviews for Porto: Stories from Portugal's Historic Bolho Market

Praise for PORTO: More culinary guide than cookbook, [Porto] . . . focuses on the edible history of the region, separated into chapters focusing on Portuguese staples: seafood, cured meats, produce and everything you'll want to want to eat on your visit. -The Globe and the Mail This book is a visual and gustatory hymn to the honest, simple foods of Northern Portugal as well as a portrait of the proud and welcoming vendors of Bolhao Market who sell and cook it. Flipping through its pages, I felt a tremendous sense of saudades-an indescribable longing-for my adopted country. -David Leite, author of The New Portuguese Table and Notes on a Banana This book is a wonderful culinary journey through the history of Bolhao Market, the city of Porto, and the little-known wonderful recipes of Northern Portugal. An exploration and delicious education rolled into one, this book is a must have and deserves to be part of one's Portuguese culinary library. It certainly will be part of mine. -Ana Patuleia Ortins, author of Portuguese Homestyle Cooking and Authentic Portuguese Cooking
