Comments: Both Portuguese and Spanish cooks have always used olive oil extensively in their cooking. When as little is used as in this recipe, which helps cut down the fat, the author recommends using top quality extra virgin olive oil. Its flavor makes a difference.

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
