Authentic Brazilian Home Cooking: Simple, Delicious Recipes for Classic Latin American Flavors

My husband is from Brazil and has loved all the recipes I've cooked from Olivia's site (oliviascuisine.com) so I decided to order the book. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that NONE of the recipes in the book are on her site (I thought maybe I would be paying for recipes I could access for free online). We are really excited to try even more Brazilian recipes and because Olivia is an amazing Brazilian chef, I know they'll be amazing!

I bought this book because wanted to recreate some of the recipes I missed from my country. Brazil is a huge country and it's hard to put everything in a book, I feel like she did a good job compiling some of it in the book. I like how she suggests alternatives when she can and where to find some of the ingredients. I learned how to make dishes I could only have when I went to restaurants or bakeries in Brazil. My favorite so far is the vegetarian moqueca, I know that for some Brazilians this may not sound very authentic because it's vegetarian, but it was very delicious and a good alternative for me that missed the dish to share with my partner that does not eat fish.

One of the issues I've been having when it comes to looking for Brazilian cookbooks is that a lot of time the core meals that would otherwise be used for dinners mostly focused on seafood. And if you're like me and are kind of "eh" with seafood and have a partner from Brazil whose family doesn't eat a lot of seafood dishes, this book is like a saving grace of sorts. One of the major highlights of this book for me is that it includes more recipes for chicken, pork, and beef. It has made things much easier for us so that I can keep a small piece of home for them in the US.

I wanted to get a cookbook that would help me make some classic dishes for some Brazilian friends. They were flipping through the cookbook and we’re very impressed by the authenticity and variety of the recipes. I’ll let you know how it goes when I cook my first meal from this book.

I am so enjoying this wonderful Brazilian cookbook by Olivia’s Cuisine creator, Olivia Mesquita. The one dish meals are delicious and the desserts are incredible. Get yourself a copy of this cookbook too!

Great for just trying a few family recipes, but I was hoping for a dense catalog of Brazilian culture.

Love this book!! It’s been so hard finding a good Brazilian recipe cookbook. This one is perfect. A bunch of great and easy recipes. Authentic Brazilian food. Beautiful pictures. I highly recommend!!!! If you’re hesitating, just buy it. It’s a great cookbook!!
