D.O.M.: Rediscovering Brazilian Ingredients

j'ai choisi cette note parce que je trouve ce livre très bon je le recommande à ceux qui s'intéressent au Brésil et à sa cuisine il est cher mais ça vaut le coup

Awesome.

私が生きている間に、この方の料理は食べれないと思い、書籍を購入しました。 すべて英語で記載されいる洋書です。 ブラジルの食材をふんだんにつかい、Alex Atalaにしかつくれないブラジル料理が表現されていて、とても楽しいです。 ただ、調理法が、やや複雑で、繊細な所も多いので、料理の本質を理解してから作ろうとすると難しいと思います。 でも、良い本です。

Please note right off the bat: It's about Brazilian ingredients. You won't be able to find some of them at the Piggly Wiggly, to say the least. Also note that the author is taking very traditional ingredients and exploring in a very modern way. This isn't a collection of peasant food from the Amazon. Having said all that, it's beautiful, from the food shots to the colorful street scenes. This makes me want to run to Brazil and discover the food for myself, both in this modern setting and in the streets. I almost gave the book 4 stars because it's going to be so impractical to cook a lot but that's not the author's fault. What he's done is excellent and inspirational. And there things you can cook and be inspired by so if you are ready to expand your horizons, I can't think of a happier way except to eat!

I bought this book after watching Alex Atala on BBC's Saturday Kitchen. His warm character and passion for what he does is inspiring. This is a book you can sit down with and really enjoy for so much more than just the recipes - it is beautifully made and the photography of Brazil and the recipes themselves are absolutely stunning. And on further investigation I've found out that Alex is an ex punk dj and believes strongly in preserving our natural environment... This isn't just a recipe book, it's a look at positive ways of living, eating and behaving. I will be buying more for Christmas presents!
