More About This Menu
The feijoada should be started at least a day ahead, as the meats and beans need to be soaked separately overnight. For more about this classic Brazilian dish and its history, see David Goldman's article Beans and Meat »
The bread known as Pao de Queijo uses tapioca starch, derived from the cassava root. For more about cooking with this unique tuber, also known as manioc or yuca, see Dorothy Irwin's profile on cassava, Taking Root, or browse our gallery of cassava recipes »
