Amazon.com Review：

Brazil is a complex country of Indian, Portuguese, and African descent that mixes its heritage in amazing culinary concoctions, but you need savvy to partake as fully and gloriously as you might like. From abacaxi (pineapple) and abobrinha (squash) to national favorites like farofa de banana (bananas fried with onion rings and manioc meal) and patinho de carangueijo ao vinagrete (marinated crab claws), you'll not want for good food. Joan and David Peterson do more than let you know what's out there, they give you the vocabulary to ask for it, and even include some recipes to recreate at home.
