This week, we’re off to Brazil with food writer and former Ottolenghi chef, Ixta Belfrage
Her latest book, Fusao meaning fusion, is about more than the melting pot of Brazil’s huge diasporic food cultures; it’s about who she is after a deep dive into her own ancestry, the histories of Brazil and her own connection with food as medicine. Gilly finds out if this weighty book, packed with stories and recipes is an attempt to find her own place in a country which she barely knew at all.
And you can buy Fusaoat the Cooking the Books shop on bookshop.org by clicking on the link.
Head over to Substack for Extra Bites from Ixta including a recipe from the book.
