World on Your Plate: Brazilian

A Feast for the Senses!

Saturday 28 August, 2010

Saturday's World on Your Plate: Brazilian was a feast for both the audience's taste buds and their eyes. Creative and authentic performances, live music, skilful artists and informative media were some of the features of this day.

Brazilian cuisine boasts a breadth of influences, including Amerindian, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, German, Arab, African and Japanese. The distinct contribution of each is still apparent in Brazilian dishes today. We joined Chef Jaqueline Maciel from Savour and Devour as she prepared peixe moqueado (fish), acarajé tradicional (fried shrimp and bean savouries) and sagu (a sweet).

Recipe for Brazilian Peixe Moqueado

Peixe moqueado is a fish dish which originates from the north-western Brazilian state Amazonas. Chef Jaqueline Maciel from Auckland's Savour and Devour restaurant has provided her recipe for you to try. Check out the blog »
