Gastronomy in Brazil and the World - by Dolores Freixa and Guta Chaves

Gastronomy is part of the heritage of a people and is as culturally important as festivals, dances, folklore and religious cults. Specialists Dolores Freixa and Guta Chaves updated the new edition of this work, expanding especially on issues related to globalization. They tell the story of the eating habits of different social groups, both from the West and the East, from prehistory to the 21st century. Brazil stands out in the chapters in which they examine the diet of our indigenous ancestors, Portuguese and African heritages and more recent influences. They also cover aspects of professional cooking, such as the training of great chefs and the most recent generation.
