5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent pick of Brazilian Recipes,
By marlon.santos@ni.com (Austin, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Brazilian Cookery (Hippocrene International Cookbook Classics) (Paperback)
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.

Great "AUTHENTIC" brasilian recipes,
By paty (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Brazilian Cookery (Hippocrene International Cookbook Classics) (Paperback)
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!

This review is from: The Art of Brazilian Cookery (Hippocrene International Cookbook Classics) (Paperback)
I gave this book 1 star because a negative score is not offered. I have been a professional chef for four years and decided to learn a bit about Brazilian cooking. However, this book is far from helpful. It contains such facinaiting and informative suggestions such as "cook in hot oven until done." What a great suggestion to have in a recipe. What temperature should you set the oven at? Don't worry about it, just get it "hot"; how long should you cook? Don't worry, when it's done, it will tell you, or perhaps you will telepathically know? This book is about as effective as the guy you gives you directions by saying "Drive down the road a bit and then turn."
One has a better chance of learning Brazilian cooking through osmosis than from using this cookbook.
