European Encontro 2008
AMAZONIAN MUSIC FESTIVAL
September-October, 2008
Assisi, Italy
I cooked two meals a day for the group on tour. They have been my friends and family for almost 20 years.
The pasta in Italy is a joy to work with, an honor!
The meat is fresh, unprocessed and you know it came from a good source. It does not come shrink-wrapped in plastic, on a styrofoam board.
Tomatoes fresh from the garden every day, and edible flowers too!
Mixed greens salad with radishes and olives
The table was set for 10 people at every meal, with extra plates and silverware for diners in the "Standing Room Only" section
My good friend about to try my famous lasagna
Morning coffee exploded
I also managed the floral arrangements for the music workshops
The final product
Cozidas
COZIDAS: BRAZILIAN COMFORT FOOD
"It raises the dead" -Amanda D.
New York City
Autumn-Winter Months, 2011
Similar to what Americans call "Stew"
Usually contains beef, carrots, corn (on the cob), potatoes, macacheira (cassava), okra, collard greens, garlic, onion, salt
This dish was different from a traditional cozida, but a similar idea. It lacked the vegetables but was still hardy and very flavorful (flavor of butter, yum!)
