After 16 long years without tasting my country, I finally stepped in Brazil again with my heart and appetite open to whatever damage I was going to be able to do in 9 days, 14 hours and whatever minutes I had there.

It’s the powerful combination of honest good Brazilian ingredients, culinary roots, culture embracement and context that makes every meal I’ve had and shared with others there the most memorable experiences of my life.

And Brazil tasted even better.

There was the Bold

and the Beautiful

 

Everything in between is now memories. Sweet, salty, hardy, spicy, delicious, fresh, tasteful…unforgettable memories.
