The idea and original concept of this book belong to the accredited cook Pedro Mendes (who got his name in the Guinness World Records for having cooked the world’s largest omelet in Ferreira do Zêzere), and it is the first work on the subject written in our country, bringing together about thirty recipes with acorn, plus curiosities about this product.


Pedro Mendes was clearly the first cook among us to work on a product that nobody wanted: acorn. A ‘wealth’ of the Alentejo and the country.


The book has sparked great curiosity and had a significant impact among food lovers and scholars, in particular, and the general public. From Hospitality schools to professional and amateur chefs, as well as tourists, many have already sought out this book, which has just been published. With a cover price of 16.99€, the book, designed to be easy to read and use, has a “rustic” graphic design and high-quality images.


Some culinary professionals are now beginning to take an interest in this product and are using it somewhat on an "experimental" basis. Pedro Mendes was a pioneer in this regard, conducting extensive research and collecting acorns for over two years.
