Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com
Brazil is a complex country of Indian, Portuguese, and African descent that mixes its heritage in amazing culinary concoctions, but you need savvy to partake as fully and gloriously as you might like. From abacaxi (pineapple) and abobrinha (squash) to national favorites like farofa de banana (bananas fried with onion rings and manioc meal) and patinho de carangueijo ao vinagrete (marinated crab claws), you'll not want for good food. Joan and David Peterson do more than let you know what's out there, they give you the vocabulary to ask for it, and even include some recipes to recreate at home.

Review

"[Joan Peterson has] cooked up a tantalizing volume of attractive photos, true-to-life sketches, tasty recipes, and encyclopedic information on regional produce and cuisine of Brazil. Formulated with scientific precision, yet in eminently readable style, this book appeals to a broad public of travelers, connoisseurs of the exotic, and seekers of useful information on the multi-ethnic giant of South America."
—Mary L. Daniel, Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin Portuguese Department
