West African Warfare in Bahia and Cuba seeks to explain how a series of historical events that occurred in West Africa from the mid-1790s - including Afonja's rebellion, the Owu wars, the Fulani-led jihad, and the migrations to Egbaland - had an impact upon life in cities and plantations in western Cuba and Bahia.

These are stories as they pervade the five chapters and the 512 recipes of Basics, fifth book by chef Ana Luiza Trajano and first of the Instituto Brasil a Gosto.

Brazil is a nation of vast expanses and enormous variation from geography and climate to cultures and languages. Within these boundaries are definable regions in which certain customs, history, and shared views help define an identity and cohesion. In many cases, the pattern of settlement and immigration has influenced the culinary culture of Brazil. This book explores the role that food and cuisine play in the construction of identity on both the regional and national levels in Brazil through key case examples. It explores the way in which food has become an important element in attracting tourists to a region as well as a way of making aspects of a culture known beyond its borders as cookbooks, ingredients and restaurants move outward in our globalized world.

Cozinha brasileira procura entender a formação de nossa culinária, discutindo o conceito de cozinha brasileira e vasculhando como ele foi formulado por vários pensadores que buscavam uma identidade de nosso povo por intermédio da comida. O foco desse livro é entender elementos formadores de nossa cozinha a partir de ingredientes, técnicas e território. E por trás de tudo isso, temos nosso povo, afinal, comida é feita por gente: dos povos originários, que nos legaram ingredientes e técnicas, aos outros povos que chegaram no Brasil: colonizadores, escravizados e imigrantes.
