the bible has arrived

This is the only image I could find, but ladies and gentlemen, this is my new bible. I'm currently reading it cover to cover, as if it were a book, when it is actually a culinary guide to Rio. To me, it's like poetry, but the kind of poetry that makes you drool.

Behold: "Os corajosos podem experimentar o incendiario file mignon fatiado ao leite de coco e amendoim com curry de anis e canela." [The brave can try the incendiary sliced file mignon in coconut milk and peanuts with anise curry and cinnamon]

"Na Barra, vigoram receitas tradicionais e pratos criativos que valem a visita, caso da costelinha de carneiro caramelizada com vinho de ameixa, gengribre e gergelim e da panqueca de pato com shiitake, shimeji e molho cremoso de laranja." [In Barra, they use traditional recipes and creative dishes that are worth the visit, like the rack of lamb caramelized in plum wine, ginger, and sesame seeds, as well as the duck pancake with shiitakes, shimeji mushrooms, and orange cream sauce."

You get the idea. I'm only up to the pastry section, so excuse me while I get back to reading.

Ooh thanks for the tip I will have to pick that up for some new restaurant ideas. As I often say, all we seem to do in Rio is EAT!
