The database behind this site was the loving creation of Suzy Oakes, who has since passed away. She is greatly missed. You can see her obituary in the Guardian

A cookbook, featuring Suzy's favourite recipies, is available. People who are interested should contact Mun Flint. Currently, the cost is £12.50 plus postage and packing. All proceeds go to the Suzy Oakes Trust for Mill Road.

Minho

Language: Portuguese

Description: Minho is a former region, now province of north west of Portugal including some parts of what is now Braga and Viana do Castelo. Minho is bounded by the sea to the west, Spain to the north and the rivers Douro and Minho. It is noted for the production of the young, refreshing Vinho Verde. The fertile valleys are densely populated but produce wheat and maize, while sheep are pastured in the mountainous northern region on the border with Spain. Caldo verde is a renowned dish of this province.
