4.0 out of 5 stars
Tasty Introduction
This beautiful book with striking photographs is a wonderful introduction to Brazilian foods for the uninitiated. Recipies are delicious, if simplified, versions of their mainland counterparts. But there are no dissappointments overall. Great gift for a friend, but perhaps not for your Brazilian in-law.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Really needed an editor
The recipes in this cookbook are nice, but there are LOTS of editing errors and timing problems that make using these recipes a chore. For example: the recipe for beef tongue in onion sauce. REALLY good dish but the time given to cook a large beef tongue is 20 minutes. It takes 3 hours to boil a beef tongue in Nebraska. I can't imagine it's that much easier in Brazil...

REALLY good dish but the time given to cook a large beef tongue is 20 minutes. It takes 3 hours to boil a beef tongue in Nebraska. I can't imagine it's that much easier in Brazil. Also, the ingredients lists 1 cup of corn oil for the sauce. Really?!? I'm betting it was supposed to be 1 cup broth from boiling the tongue. The written directions reference broth. An editor could have been great help.So use this book, but carefully. |
