What I miss most about Brazil besides my family + friends is the food. Sometimes I daydream about it and can even taste it and smell it. Mmmmm…
It’s not easy to find every ingredient and to recreate my soul’s food, but I’ve been trying and I’ll be glad to share these amazing bits of Brazilian cuisine with you.
Today’s recipe is as easy as it is yummy and it brings back memories of lazy Sundays, family sitting around drinking coffee and eating homemade cakes and biscuits.
