Food of Brazil - So Far

 I love the food of Brazil, especially the Brazilian Cheese bread - Pao de Queijo and the Pasteis (like an empanada). 


I went to the Cipriani Restaurant which is in Copacabana Palace Hotel. Olaf and I stayed at the Cipriani in Venice in 2009 and really enjoyed our stay. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to revisit and eat delicious Italian food with a Brazilian twist. 

1. Vitello Tonnato

2. Trufa Organic egg, artichoke, aged parmesan cheese and black truffles

3. Ravioli with chicken mousse

4. Chocolate Cigar 




We had a wonderful ceviche in Paraty. The fish was done in a local coconut milk and was delicious. 


You can bet there are more food pictures to come.
