The story
In 1893 a Ribeira cook named Rosa wrote down the recipe for her bacalhau on the back of a port invoice. The invoice survives. The recipe does not. What remains is a family argument, three competing versions and a route that tastes all of them.
Come hungry. The route is gentle, the portions are not, and the last stop is a bakery that has been getting the same order wrong for forty years — on purpose.
