A TASTE OF
BRAZIL
It might only be one country, but Brazil offers a host of different culinary cultures, as Merrilees discovers. Starting her journey in the Afro-influenced coastal city of Salvador, capital of the state of Bahia, she helps offer food to the Candomble Gods before filling up on sweet street food and being swept along by the infectious energy of street drummers. The next day, she meets Da Da, a famous restauranteur and TV Chef who learned the art of Bahian cookery while living in the Favelas, or shanty towns. Together they cook a spiny lobster and fish Moqueca, a delicious local coconut cream and fish stew. Merrilees then paddles up the river Amazon and journeys into the rain forest in search of Brazil nuts and bizarre fruits, tapioca pancakes and exotic barbecued fish. Downstream, Belem market offers even more surprises: a Guarana smoothy, jambo leaf, manioc and dried shrimp soup plus hundreds of herbal medicines.
Heading south to Recife in the Pernambuco state, where Portuguese flavours are the order of the day and where sugar plantations have given the world Cachaca, Brazil's answer to rum. Merrilees samples the national cocktail and whisks up a Cachaca mousse before joining the Easter celebrations at the extraordinary Fazenda Nova, an open-air reconstruction of old Jerusalem where tens of thousands watch the Last Supper and gorge themselves on goat kebabs and pastries
Further south in Porto Allege, Merrilees visits the Gauchos who tend Brazil's famous beef cattle and cooks them Waggoner's Rice, a gaucho favourite. The mixture of European culture and the love of meat means the area offers huge BBQs & sophisticated wineries, both experienced before finishing her journey in the party capital of Rio de Janiero. She ends her Brazilian experience with beach food and the national Saturday dish, Feijoada.
