Review
In the world of food writers it is a rare thing when a fresh new voice comes along. Leticia Schwartz is the real deal: a brilliant, creative, and charismatic chef whose recipes make you want to run to your kitchen and claim each dish as your own. The depth of flavor that Chef Leticia imparts in each dish is a marvel. Anyone who feels jaded by the same old, same old, will want to own this book to see that there is a bright new star on the horizon. --Jane Stern
From the Author
From the Inside Flap
The result is this groundbreaking collection of 100 delicious classic and inspirational recipes. With simple techniques and well-explained directions, dishes like Meat Croquettes, Chicken and Plaintain Moqueca, Broccoli and Minas Cheese Souffles, and Coconut Cheesecake with Guava Sauce will simply become part of your everyday cooking repertoire.
The mixture of three distinct races, Portuguese, African, and native Indian, is the essence of Brazil. It's in the face of the people and in the foods they eat. Ingredients like yucca, cornmeal, farofa, and dendê oil, used to be seen as peasant food. Now they are considered precious ingredients in modern recipes. Leticia includes interesting regional and ingredient head notes for each recipe, as well as beautiful photography of Brazilian marketplaces. The Brazilian Kitchen represents Brazil's diverse regions alongside its famous international cities' offerings. This unique and inspiring cookbook is the product of Leticia's passion for her country's cuisine--and her aim to bring Brazil's favorite foods into American kitchens.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Anyway, I'm very happy to finally start to learn about this amazing and still under-appreciated cuisine.
I turned down so many pages in this book, it looks like a pop-up now.
Having spent time within the Brazilian community in the US many of the dishes were wonderfully familiar, but so much was very new and exciting. While some of the dishes do have exotic ingredients, the vast majority are made with easy to find ingredients that you can get at any supermarket or store that caters to Caribbean foods.
So many of the dishes also remind me of the wonderful cuisine I enjoyed in Africa.
This book is rare in that it doesn't skimp on flavor, technique or beautiful presentation (far too often contemporary cookbooks are big glossy magazines with mediocre recipes).
If you enjoy hearty, but elegant Latin/Caribbean foods this is one not to miss.
Edit: I just made the Sopa de Aipim e Coco com Vieiras (pg 60)
I have to stop myself from consuming the whole pot. What a delicious, simple to prepare meal!
The recipes work well with ingredients readily available in most grocery stores and some of the recipes I even enjoy more than the ones my husband originally tried to have me make.
This book is so great I have purchased on for my mom and my sister.
Roberts wife(trying to get Robert to cook next !!)
Also, there are a few recipe that you would never make at home, like a recipe for churros. Seriously? Why would you ever make those at home?
It almost seems like the author saved the best, most classic recipes for another book. I think the title of the book should have been "100 Creative Recipes" as it omitted too much of the "Classic." Disappointing...
