Description

Prepare to embark on a delightful culinary journey as we delve into the heart of Brazilian cuisine in our upcoming cooking class. In this session, we'll guide you through the art of crafting an authentic and mouthwatering Brazilian feast, featuring Fish Moqueca, Coconut rice, Farofa, and a delectable local dessert, all thoughtfully paired with exceptional Brazilian wines. The first course will be a salad with passion fruit sauce, the main course will be the Fish Moqueca, and the dessert will be Brigadeiro!

Fish Moqueca, Pirão, and Coconut Rice: These three dishes are at the core of Brazilian comfort food, and together, they create a symphony of flavors and textures that will transport you straight to Brazil.

• Fish Moqueca: Our adventure begins with Fish Moqueca, a beloved Brazilian seafood stew. Learn the secrets behind preparing this aromatic dish, where tender fish mingles with fragrant coconut milk, herbs, and spices. It's a flavorful journey that captures the essence of coastal Brazil.

• Coconut Rice: Coconut rice is a popular dish in many tropical regions, particularly in Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and parts of Africa. It is made by cooking white rice in coconut milk instead of water, which gives it a rich, creamy texture and a subtle coconut flavor.

• Farofa: No Brazilian meal is complete without Farofa. This toasted cassava flour side dish brings a delightful crunch and a nutty, savory flavor to the table. We'll teach you how to prepare Farofa with a delightful twist, making it a highlight of your Brazilian feast.

Throughout the class, our experienced chef will provide step-by-step guidance, sharing the techniques and nuances of these traditional Brazilian dishes. Whether you're an experienced cook or a novice in the kitchen, our class promises to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to recreate these authentic Brazilian flavors in your own home.

To round off our culinary adventure, we'll cap the meal with a luscious local dessert that perfectly captures the essence of Brazil's sweet traditions.

And here's the exciting twist: each course will be thoughtfully paired with a selection of exceptional Brazilian wines, enhancing the overall experience and highlighting the rich culinary heritage of Brazil.
