Feijoada isn’t just food—it’s Brazil in a bowl. Join the Carioca - Alessandro Piovezahn and learn how to craft this iconic black bean and pork stew, loaded with smoky Brazilian sausages, tender pork loin, smoked pork ribs and the bold flavors that make it a national treasure.

But the feast is just getting started. Imagine this: golden, crispy pork cracklings that shatter with every bite, cassava fries with just the right amount of crunch, and fluffy white rice to soak up all that rich, soulful stew. Bright, juicy orange slices add a pop of freshness, while vibrant sautéed collard greens bring earthy balance to the table. Smoked pork chops deliver a deep, smoky hit, and warm, garlicky bread dares you to take another bite. Toss in a sprinkle of toasted cassava flour for a nutty finish that ties it all together. And of course, no Brazilian spread is complete without a zesty Caipirinha in hand and the sweet, creamy crescendo of Pudim de Leite Condensado to close the night. 

This class goes beyond cooking—it’s a celebration of culture, flavor, and life. Sign up, roll up your sleeves, and bring a slice of Rio to your kitchen!

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill BBQ class. Alessandro Piovezahn, master of the smoke and flame, brings his genius technique to the table, blending Brazilian BBQ traditions with American smoking hardware. Low-temp smoking with mesquite wood chips infuses the meat with deep, unapologetic flavor, while a final flare on the grill ensures every bite is tender, juicy, and perfectly charred. Forget rubs and marinades. Here, it’s all about rock salt, fire, and guts.

You’ll tackle ribeye, skirt steak, pork loin, chicken, and sausages as you learn Alessandro’s low-and-slow method. But first, kick things off with Picanha, Brazil’s prized cut served as an appetizer, grilled to perfection and paired with farofa, spicy pork sausage, and a refreshing caipirinha. And the feast doesn’t stop there.

Think grilled vegetables bursting with smoky goodness, baked sweet potatoes turned ridiculously indulgent, creamy Brazilian Mayo Salad, Very Garlicky Bread that’s exactly as it sounds, and an ethereal Brazilian Cream Caramel Pudim that’s the perfect sweet ending.

This is food that makes you sweat, laugh, and savor every bite. Alessandro will teach you the truth of meat, the essential dance of smoke and flame. Are you ready to fire it up? Join us.
