(Vatapa)
First of all, I want to thank my dear mother in law Jane for teaching me how to cook Bahian dishes. I never really liked to cook because I did not find any dishes I liked so I did not have an enthusiasm to cook. Few years ago, I flew to Brazil for visiting my husband Eric and meeting his family. I’d admitted I thought Brazilian food was yucky and did not want to try, but nevertheless, I was in their country so I would not want to miss an opportunity of trying. When Jane made muqueca and it smelled so good. I really enjoyed it - the taste was refreshing and crisp, texture was nice and not too thick, spice level was perfect. I spend more quality time in the kitchen and cook. Now I dream of opening my own Brazilian restaurant. I want to show Brazilian cookery at its finest, and bringing with them dishes that I learned while living in Brazil.
