Customer Reviews

The definitive Brazilian cookbook

I was given this cookbook as a present by my Brazilian mother-in-law. It is truly a great cookbook, even though (I must be honest) I rarely cook from it. My husband (in spite of being half Brazilian-with Brazil having the world's longest continuous coastline) doesn't like fish. This book is fairly heavy on fish and seafood, as it should be.

To eat even with your eyes
