Brazil is a complex country of Indian, Portuguese, and African descent that mixes its heritage in amazing culinary concoctions, but you need savvy to partake as fully and gloriously as you might like. From abacaxi (pineapple) and abobrinha (squash) to national favorites like farofa de banana (bananas fried with onion rings and manioc meal) and patinho de carangueijo ao vinagrete (marinated crab claws), you'll not want for good food. Joan and David Peterson do more than let you know what's out there, they give you the vocabulary to ask for it, and even include some recipes to recreate at home.
Review

The history of Brazilian cuisine, descriptions of regional foods, a detailed menu dictionary, a glossary of ingredients, a phrase book, a guide to markets and a handful of recipes are packed into this paperback, which should be useful for the traveler, actual or armchair.”—Florence Fabricant, The New York Times

Even timid diners can feel confident ordering exotic, unfamiliar foods. Read it before your trip and carry it when you dine out.”—Ruth Houston, Gold Coast Gazette
