24th Stop: Brazil

OK, this website is so darn cute that I had to share it for my 24th stop...

which is to Brazil. 

Ole!

Now, it's too small to view here, 

so please check it out here.

This website, They Draw & Cook, is genius, so you need to know about it, regardless. 

 

Their subtitle is "Recipes illustrated by artists from around the world."

I know, right?

Two for Tuesday: Aarti and Her Taste in Translation

I have discovered a show that is becoming one of my favorite foodie shows.  It is called Taste in Translation, and its host is the wonderful foodie chef Aarti Sequeira. I just love her.  Knowing my penchant for travel and exploring the world in taste, you'll see why this show is now a favorite.

Here is what this show is all about (details are from Cooking Channel TV):

 

"Taste in Translation is an international taste-trotting tour of the world's most popular and flavorful food. You'll travel far and wide, over a mouthwatering map of the most delicious dishes on the planet as well as our top American favorites. To find out the REAL favorites, we'll check out diverse locations from four-star restaurants, to food carts, to private homes. Both locals and culinary experts will share their passion for their country's most beloved dishes along with a bit of the history behind the dish, some technique tips, and cultural lore."

 

#1 Birthday Food in Brazil: Brigadeiros

Brazil's birthday bonbon tastes like a fudgy truffle and 

is a huge part of birthday parties in the country.

 Aarti's recipe here.

 

If you recall, I reccently shared another recipe for Brigadeiros  on my Ode to Saveur entry.   I think this is kismet and I am a fool for not trying to make these, yet.  They are officially on my To Do list!
