Brazilian food, recipes, and the people behind them

Polyana de Oliveira brings together recipes and stories from across Brazil, connecting food with the people who work with travelers in different parts of the country. The book also includes her account of growing up in the United States as an undocumented Brazilian immigrant and building a travel company to promote her home country. Its recipes range from traditional Brazilian dishes to original creations, making the cookbook a way into both regional food and the experiences surrounding it. The project began during the 2020 travel shutdown, when de Oliveira sought to keep interest in Brazil alive through its cooking and culture.
