"Receita Brazileira"

Representações da culinária do Brasil nos receituários portugueses do século XIX

Abstract

This study analyses the ways in which Brazilian food culture is represented in 19th century Portuguese culinary literature. Seventy-eight recipes were identified, bearing names that directly refer to the Brazilian cultural and geographical universe, scattered in seven different publications, on which a content analysis was carried out in order to identify their proximity to the eating habits documented for Brazil in the post-independence period and to ascertain the extent to which these recipes were copied and/or adapted from formulas recorded in contemporary Brazilian culinary literature.
