The Portuguese with some Moorish traits, the Indians native to America, and the Negro slaves from Africa have all contributed substantially to the great diversity and the distinctive nature of Brazilian Cookery. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe subtle, tantalizing flavors for which Brazilian foods are famous result, in many instances, from the ingenious ways in which the simple ingredients are combined and prepared. The use of marinades, for example, is common, and frequently succulent flavors are sealed into foods by first sauteing them judiciously in onions, tomatoes, peppers, garlic, herbs, and other seasoning. Besides calling for the generous use of a wide variety of spices, Brazilian Cookery is also often enhanced by the indulgent use of malts and spirits. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the various dishes common to many countries, Brazilians enjoy many distinctive sweets and confections, an amazing variety of pies and turnovers suitable for all occasions, and an almost endless variety of staple foods and flours. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo engrossing is the art of Brazilian Cookery that many of the nation's poets, musicians, and men of letters have extolled it in their compositions. Food, in fact, has played an important role in the country's literature, legends, and history, all of which receive sympathetic attention in the brief essays that introduce each chapter of this book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll of the recipes in this collection -- some of them hundreds of years old -- are given in terms of standard present-day measures; they have been tested in temperature-controlled ovens; and they include only those ingredients that are available. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to having comprehensive indexes in both English and Portuguese, Mrs. Andrade's book includes an extensive chart indicating recipes for the use of leftover egg yolks or egg whites, and also see-at-a-glance conversion tables for weights and oven temperatures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---- \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eDust jacket has small tears.
