This year Brazil is hosting the Olympics, which start in early August, so I thought I'd put together a collection of delicious, authentic Brazilian recipes for you.
You know, in case you want to eat like an Olympian… 😉
Most of the recipes below are mine, but since there are a lot of classics I don't have in my collection yet, I went ahead and found some equally amazing Brazilian recipes from blogger friends so I can at least cover the basics . Believe me, not even a collection of 100 Brazilian dishes would be enough to cover all my love for this cuisine.
I'm definitely biased, but Brazilian cuisine is the best cuisine in the world. So even if you don't like sports, I highly recommend making some. I promise you won't regret it!
