Description
Summary:This paper deals with the relationship between nationalism and cooking, more specifically with the triumph of a national cuisine in Portugal. This only took place in the twentieth-century, during the nationalist regime of the Estado Novo (1933-1974). I contrast this situation with that of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth-century, when French cuisine was the favourite among the dominant classes. I look upon this process of change drawing on ethnographic observation and on research in historical sources, placing the Portuguese case in a comparative perspective.
