Comment on Guava Soufflé with Catupiri Sauce by Emilia

Emilia — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:02:27 +0000

Ah, my mouth watered when I saw that beautiful queijo de Minas married to the goiabada… Now, I am very sorry, but I have to say that there is NO substitute for Catupiry. Cream cheese is NOT a substitute and I dare say it is not worth cooking if you don’t have the reatl thing… And, sorry, again, but you did NOT use “the same guava & cheese” for the souffle; the cheese used for Romeo e Julieta, is “queijo de Minas” (and I have never found similar in the US) and the one used in the souffle is Catupiry. These are two completely different cheeses.

Watch it again, you’ll see me adding palm paste, which is a form of Palm Oil (Dendê). You’ll also notice that I’s written on the recipe below. As for calling it an afro-brazilian dish… is it not?

You missed a basic ingredient: Azeite de Dendê!!!! By the way, when I still lived in Brazil nobody referred to Bobó de Camarão (that my mother made wonferfuly) as an “Afro-Brazilian” dish… I see that the politically correct police has gotten to Brazil too. Pity.

I have now been here about 5 times, and the food and staff are fantastic. I thoroughly recommend it to all!!! Don’t over do the salad, as they continue to come around with brilliant cuts of meat!
Superb!

Hi L,
I understand your concern. I would not recommend this for anyone with truly small kids. I only give these out to my kids and friends of the same age. They all play with GoGos all the time and can handle it. Plus I do advertise at school faites etc that there is a small plastic toy inside. But now my cakes are already so famous that kids will buy them only because they know they’re also getting a toy. They are not much easier to swallow then the toys inside a Kidner Surprise Egg :-)

But I understand where you’re coming from and thank you for your vigilance.

Many thanks
Nando

Comment on Caipirinha in just over a minute (video) by Andre

I had the good fortune to spend some time in Rio and Sao Paulo and mainly ate in the small street cafe’s and consumed liters of beer with the most amazing food.

I really liked what seems to be chicken pie in a tear drop shape with sort of stretchy dough , do you have the recipe for me.

i live in South Africa and i often entertain guests with feijoada and Caipirinha but i have to use cane and lemons as the other ingredients are not available , it still as a good kick and we all enjoy it.

Thanks

Andre
