It also describes Brazilian cuisine: a vibrant fusion of indigenous, Portuguese and West African influences that incorporates inspiration from diverse immigrant populations.

Brazil is vast and breathtaking and defies being fully captured. Through imaginative ingredient combinations and a passion for food that should be shared, Ixta brings a glimpse of Brazil to the table with stunning photography from her travels and personal stories intertwined with delicious recipes.
