Brazilian Gastronomy: What about a “tasty” regional tour of Brazil? Let us be your guide! With over 500 years of history, Brazilian cuisine is highly diverse, the result of a great mix of ingredients, foods and traditions that date back to the indigenous native population and the migratory influences over the centuries. Even the “discovery” of Brazil relates to cooking, given that the Portuguese caravels that landed in the country in 1500 were, in fact, in search of India and its spices. Today, every region of the country has its own gastronomic identity, and each local cuisine has adapted to ..read more

Every country has its own famous distilled drink. In Brazil, it’s cachaça, or pinga, and it’s used do make one of the most famous cocktails in the world, the Caipirinha There is no Brazilian who doesn’t know cachaça and there is no visitor to Brazil who doesn’t get to know it. Cachaça, along with Brazil’s intoxicating happiness, is the country’s trademark. Every Brazilian has affection for its strong aroma and potency. Cachaça, however, is not to be drunk without respect. Its alcoholic content can vary from 38% to 48%, which is considerable when you think that a regular beer will rarely exceed ..read more

Typically Brazilian, pudim de leite (milk pudding) is a fairly easily made dessert Originated in colonial Brazil, thanks to a Portuguese abbot, who based his recipe on ‘Priscos pudding’, a Portuguese dessert made from pork lard, egg yolks, sugar and water.

For the pudding, you’ll need 3 eggs, 1 tin of condensed milk and twice the quantity of normal milk. To make the syrup, use 1 teacup of sugar and ½ a teacup of water. MethodYou’ll need a specific mould for the pudding, which should be round ..read more

Feijão Tropeiro, one of the most popular dishes in Brazil!

Brazilians like it really cold
BBMAG » Food and Drinks

It took a little while for Brazilians to work out why their foreign guests always kept their hands wrapped around their glasses. And then, finally, the penny dropped: most foreigners prefer their drinks served at room temperature. Here in Brazil, by contrast, beer is served in accordance with Brazilian law, in other words cold, very cold, almost frozen solid   In terms of consumption, Brazil ranks in the Top 5 when it comes to necking the golden nectar. In Brazil you’ll find no shortage of bars, sometimes quite literally built on top of each other in the busy cities, all selling bottled ..read more

Avocado has become a world favourite, from breakfast to dinner. But many are unaware of the range of things that can be done with avocado I love creating different recipes that highlight the versatility of ingredients.  This is a recipe I created for Taste of London and uses Brazilian avocados. Then I took it to the largest fruit fair in the world, Fruit Logistic in Berlin, and adapted it as a snack to accompany a cold beer (we were in Germany, after all!). It was a hit! It looks like a sort of vegan “fish and chips”, just w ..read more
