Rio de Janiero

the long version

Rio is one of the most exciting cities in the world loved for its beaches, bars, carnival and, for those cariocas (Rio-folk) in the know, its wonderful food. From its farmers' markets to its botequims, its melting puff pastries to its 'well-married' cookies, Rio offers a wealth of unforgettable ingredients and dishes and no-one knows this better than Leticia, an Ipanema girl born and raised. In this book she is your guide to the real Rio, introducing you to chefs, bakers, street vendors and all the passionate culinary personalities of her hometown.
