Eat Portugal

In 2011, Célia Pedroso and I wrote (and photographed and cooked) Eat Portugal, a practical guide to Portuguese cookery and eating, for the visitor and newcomer.  It contains recipes, a glossary and culinary dictionaries.  Published by Caderno (Leya), it is available in bookshops in Portugal.  Please go to eatportugal.net for further information.

O Livro das Receitas Nojentas

In 2005,  I produced a weekly disgusting recipe for the kids’ magazine Kulto (Produções Fictí­cias), that was a supplement to Público newspaper. The forty most disgusting, including squashed dogs & monkey brains (actually delicious to eat, but disgusting to look at) were turned into a book the following year by Guerra e Paz.

Good for upsetting uptight grannies. No one has been sick. Yet.

Fama e Segredo na História de Portugal

Agustina is one of Portugal’s best loved authors. In this book she re-imagined some of this country’s most well known characters, from Viriato of ancient times to Salazar, the dictator. It was a huge privilege to be asked by Guerra e Paz to illustrate this book. It is a beautifully bound book, a lovely thing to hold and read.

O Diabinho da Mão Furada

An 18th century story of a little devil who meets a soldier on his way across Portugal.

My Boyfriend is a Twat

I first met Zoe, electronically, in the blogosphere when we were two of the mouthiest women on the internet in each of our blogs. She adapted hers, My Boyfriend is a Twat, into a book, published by The Friday Project. I illustrated the cover and the chapter heads.

Shaggy Blog Stories

Mike Atkinson, the Troubled Diva, came up with the great idea for a bunch of blogosphere funny people to put together a collection of funny stories in the form of a book, in aid of Comic Relief in 2007. My contribution was the cover. I still love this cover very much.
