Since I'm a fan of exotic food from all around the world, my interest has lately directed itself to Brazil and it's culinary art.I was watching a documentary on tv about this country and it's mouthwatering food/culinary history, and I realised that this part of the world was unknown to me, so I decided to enquire a little about traditional Brazilian dishes...
I've found many great recipes which in some sense remind me of the Southern Asian and Caribbean cuisine (cocunut milk, coriander, tomatoes, limes, dried shrimps, peanuts, tapioca, etc...).
Tomorrow, I'm going to cook my first Brazilian dish (Spicy meatballs with orange and ginger sauce) and I'm really looking forward to tasting it!!! Well, actually, I've already cooked a side dish (" Arroz Brasileiro") which I loved, so that'll really be my second incursion on this yet undiscovered and vast land that is Brazilian cookery.
If anyone could recommend me detailed and complete books about Brazil and it's food, then you are welcome to contact me!... Thanks.

Hi Amateur,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for giving me useful informations!
I'll have a look at those internet sites and see if those books are available here...
No, you are absolutely not too late; I'm still interested in Brazilian recipes!
By the way, what was it like to live in Brazil? What did you like and dislike?...
Yes, I guess that it's beautiful place and that it might not always be easy to live there for people like us, but it is surely a great country to visit! And the food looks soooo fine!!!
ReplyDeleteHow long did you live there? And which regions or towns do you prefer?
Woaw, you saw a few interesting things in Brazil! Yes, it is always better to visit a country when you have friends who live there... I am sure that it is a magnificent place.
ReplyDeleteWell, I had seen a documentary about Brazil and it's foods, and as I love exotic ingredients like peanuts, manioc, coconut milk, coriander, etc..., I naturally ended up searching the web for recipes! This documentary made me discover a cuisine and culture which I didn't know ...
