“Lawton brings interested home cooks along on a journey through the landscape of Azorean cooking with dozens of home-cooked recipes. Although many of the dishes speak to the wholesomeness of Iberian peninsula cooking, recipes like Lawton’s queen cakes―Azorean pastries made from corn flour, molasses, cinnamon, and nutmeg―set the book apart and tell the story of her parents’ island origins.” -Booklist
