Wine & Dine Roundup: Brazilian Carnival!

February 22, 2009 · WCC Administr@tr · 4 Comments

wine26dine-2198079This month’s Wine & Dine blogging event was all about Brazilian inspired dishes in honor of Carnival! While many here in the US are familiar with the Mardi Gras celebrations, other countries including Brazil are celebrating as well. Check out how I celebrated where I hosted a potluck Brazilian Carnival dinner with friends!

So who else is celebrating in their kitchens with Brazilian inspired recipes? Check out these blogs to found out! Thanks to all those that participated in the Wine & Dine blogging event this month. I encourage you to join in the fun in March where we’re featuring Irish fare and lots of Guinness & Irish Cream!

Tangerine Caiparinha
The popular drink to have in Brazil is a caiparinha which uses a sugarcane liquor called cachaca. Suzanne makes a tangerine caiparinha to share for the Wine & Dine! Check out Suzanne’s refreshing recipe and have one for a taste of Carnival!2009-02-16077-3047114
Karen of Loves to Eat

Sequilhos de Coco (Cornstarch & Coconut Cookies)
Karen brings some cookies to the Carnival party! These cookies aren’t made with flour but rather with cornstarch. The result is a light cookie that is pretty flavorful. The best part? It doesn’t involve any special ingredients and you can whip these up with what you might already have in your pantry! Check out Karen’s blog for the recipe!p2060010-9701555

    What a great roundup of recipes! I’ve never been to Brazil but my husband has and he raves about it. So, of course, I’m dying to go. He did bring back bottles of cachaca – to forget about winter for a bit, he makes caipirinhas for us. These all sound great but the moqueca is definitely something I’d like to try.

    I can’t wait for next month’s Wine and Dine event. I embrace my Irish heritage with lots of Irish-inspired dishes so this will be a fun treat!
