Thank you Steven!

I will try all your leads, I very much appreciate the help! (The grandmother/great grandmother referred to in the book I believe is my grandmother, the book was written by a long lost relative). I will follow up with your leads and see how it goes!

Thanks,

Hi Carpe,

In running a few Internet searches, I noticed that the correct title may be "Cozinha Indo-Portuguesa: Receitas da bisavó" (great-grandmother instead of grandmother?).

I collect international cookbooks. I usually start a search by going to Amazon and Bookfinder.com, but I don't think these sites will be useful in finding a Portuguese book from 1998. I did find what seems to be an available copy on the Brazilian site Livraria Curitiba. Here is the URL I got when I searched for the book: http://www.livrariacuritiba.com.br/?system...704488&eid=GACI

I've never used them, and I can't really tell from the website whether they ship internationally (Portuguese isn't my strongest language). I didn't have any luck with www.fnac.pt, but try them again anyway.

Since the book was published in 1998, it's most likely out of print and available only through used-book networks. Depending on good your Portuguese is, your best bet may be to correspond with booksellers in Portugal, who may be able to order the book for you. Alternatively, get in touch with the following cookbook stores, who may be able to find the book:
