Taste of the World Cup
Its been a busy few months, hence its been a while since my last post.
Since the world cup is now in full swing why not really get in to to the SAMBA swing and try Brazil’s National Dish Feijoada. There are a number of varieties of Feijoada each region having their own specific take on this classic piece of Brazilian gastronomy. The dish is essentially a stew of beans with beef and pork, and its name derives from the Portuguese word feijão, meaning ‘beans’.
I found this recipe on-line http://southamericanfood.about.com/od/maincourses/r/feijoada.htm it sounds delicious, the only down side it takes 15 hours in cooking and preparation time 😦

Camarão na Moranga (Shrimp in Pumpkin) is a creamy seafood stew served at coastal restaurants throughout Brazil, and traces back to the 1940s in São Paulo. Gloriously presented in a pumpkin, it’s a conversation piece that will impress your dinner guests both for its flavor and decorative flair. This recipie I found at the Latin Kitchen…
