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!
