About this tour

We begin at the meeting point on Rua Visconde de Pirajá, 281, Shop 213, Ipanema, where our hosts welcome you and introduce the steps for this immersive Brazilian cooking workshop.

The class kicks off with the preparation of traditional appetizers. You will make tapioca chips, cassava with butter, and fried cassava sticks. These will be served with homemade pepper jam for a real touch. While savoring these snacks, you’ll learn to craft a refreshing caipirinha, Brazil’s signature cocktail. For the main course, you’ll choose from three menu options, each offering a unique glimpse into Brazilian cuisine. Option 1: Moqueca Bahiana

This seafood stew is a staple of northeastern Brazil, featuring coconut milk, bell peppers, and spices. You’ll learn how to prepare and serve it with toasted farofa with banana and white rice, two classic accompaniments. The recipe is designed to be easily replicated at home using accessible ingredients. The session ends with making brigadeiro. This is a popular Brazilian chocolate dessert, and a great way to finish any meal. Option 2: Picanha Filet

For those who love meat, the picanha menu focuses on this popular Brazilian beef cut, prepared in the oven. While typically grilled, this version highlights how to achieve delicious results at home. The dish pairs banana farofa and cassava in butter sauce, enhancing the flavors of the tender meat. You’ll also prepare flamed okra with onions and seared white cheese, two classic Brazilian appetizers. As with the moqueca menu, the meal wraps up with the creation of brigadeiro for dessert. Option 3: Vegetarian Menu

For vegetarian participants, this menu offers a rich experience. It uses fresh ingredients and local methods to adapt traditional Brazilian food without meat. The appetizers, caipirinhas, and brigadeiro remain integral to this option. The class concludes with a shared meal, where you’ll enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared in a relaxed and welcoming setting. You’ll leave not only with full recipes printed out but also with new skills from this immersive Rio de Janeiro cooking workshop. This activity is ideal for travelers looking to connect with Brazil through its food and culture. Book your spot now and take home a piece of this Brazilian cuisine class to share with family and friends!
