This is a children's cookbook, so be forewarned (something I did not realize when I purchased the item). While the instructions and introduction to Brazil are "nice enough", the number of recipes are sorely lacking. This book does not give a reasonable cultural or recipe sampling for the asking price.

I lived in Brazil for a number of years and was looking for a recipe book that was in English to share with friends and family that do not speak Portuguese, as well as recipes that I remember from my time there that I do not have in my collection. This book did not meet that expectation in the least.

I was definitely expecting something much more intensive and voluminous. Even as a children's book it is light on the recipes.

Not worth the money whatsoever. You would be better off printing recipes out online. What a disappointment.

$25.00 for a 72 page book? What are the publishers thinking? What was I thinking when I ordered it? I expected a full-fledged cookbook, something with chapters and many recipes per chapter. There are exactly 18 recipes in this child-sized volume. I see on the back of the "book" that Lerner Books offers over thirty titles in this "easy menu ethnic" series. Incredible that they can sell so little for so much. It is the only title I have ever returned to amazon.

awesome product, my brother lived in brazil for 2 years and wasvery excited to get this book. it had many if not all his favorite recipes for his favorite dishes from when he lived there.
