Brazil is the largest country in both South America and Latin America. The cuisine of a nation is determined largely by the societies, customs and traditions within that culture as well as by accessibility and availability to certain foods and ingredients.
Because Brazil is such a melting pot of colours, languages and customs, its cuisine is similarly varied. Brazilian food is an exuberant, colourful mix of Portuguese, African, European and native foods, including some from the Amazon.
The various types of dishes and ingredients used depend on the geographical location within Brazil. In general, root vegetables are commonly used. Fruits grow well in the tropical and sub-tropical conditions and are also, therefore, used extensively, even in savoury cooking. Mangos, papayas (also known as paw paws), guavas, granadillas and pineapples are all firm favourites.
These make for delicious dishes, whether savoury or sweet. Many dishes use rice or beans as a staple or base ingredient, since these are widely available, filling and fairly nutritious. Common meats include beef, pork and different kinds of fish and seafood.
On this book you will find over 200 the best classic Brazilian food recipes all of which will open up a whole new world of culinary delight to anyone not yet familiar with the delicious eats coming out of this beautiful South American country.
Enjoy and Bon appetite - Bom apetite !!!
