I am a Brazilian, born and raised
in Rio de Janeiro. Yes, I am from a tropical country, with amazing fruits and
vegetables. I remember in my childhood going to my family farm and harvesting some
mangos, jabuticabas, sugar cane, and also I could have the chance to get some
fresh milk from the cows and eggs from chickens and quails (my favourite egg).
I used to spend most of my holidays with my bare feet on the ground, playing
with the animals and the nature. I can still remember the smell of the morning
with breeze from the mountains. I believe that my fascination with fresh food, and
healthy nourishment come from the times I was there!
But I
forgot to tell you guys, that I also have some Italian influence on the way I
cook. My father, he is Italian from Salerno, and he is a great cook as well. He
has a pasta factory, since 1977, and it’s called Paladium. I confess, he loves to eat, especially pasta
with wine, of course he is Italian! I was able to learn from him how to cook
and how to love to do that. To cook is not just to prepare food, but it is a
pleasure and the best way to spend your time. Some people still think that food
is just a way to feed your body, but it is one of the best ways to fill your
soul.
I decided
to create this blog, because I really want to share with you, how to enjoy cooking,
make this moment much more fun, and still eat healthy!
I attached some photos that I could find, I asked my parents to find some more, when I have with me, I post here for you guys.
