The Art of Brazilian Cookery

Many of the recipes in this book I ate when I was a child! Too bad the editors where not really careful with the translation... There are too many Portuguese mistakes.

I have many "brazilian" cookbooks, but this one is the only one that was right on. Many of the recipes are ones that my "vovo" (grandma) made. I have made many of the dishes & found the recipes easy to follow. They taste delicious!

I have read through this book and I found it very diverse and delightfull. This book picks recipes from various parts of Brazil, which translates to a great variety of the Brazilian taste. One thing that impressed me was that the ingredients are listed in the English measurement system and not the metric one; this saves a lot of headaches and time for there is no need for conversion. I have tried some of the recipes and they taste just like the ones back home. This book is a must have for any Brazilian family here in the USA.

A good book that gives a good insight into the traditions of Brazilian cooking. A great introduction, recipes are adapted for the North American and European readers, each section has a little introduction, the book has a table of contents, index with Brazilian and English recipe titles. I have not tried any recipes at this stage but I cannot forsee any major difficulties in following the recipes.
