P5S – Brazil – Food Glorious Food

What a great time we had this morning preparing, cooking and tasting our Brazilian dishes. I am absolutely delighted you enjoyed it so much.

Our class had the complicated task of preparing the tapiocas. I had prepared the clay -like  paste at home to make it a little easier to work with this morning. Can you explain to someone at home how the mixture started out?  Most of you had the chance to sieve the clay to make the mixture ready for cooking. It was quite hard work for some of you!  The tapiocas didn’t take too long to cook and you were soon tucking into them. They went down a treat! Tell someone at home how the mixture reacted to the heat from the stove.

You also had to prepare and cut up the mangoes. Again this was done very well and we had lots and lots to eat. This was the first time some of you had tasted mango and it was liked by all. Maybe you can try some at home too.

Chloe S and Innis were our photographers today and took many, many photographs. Please have a wee nosey at them.

This morning we had a fun-filled time preparing, cooking and tasting some Brazilian dishes. I am so pleased you enjoyed them so much that you wanted to try the dishes at home.

Please find below the links for both recipes. The main ingredients can be bought in a number of places however I purchased them in Holland & Barrett.  I have included the link for the tapioca flour and the recipe of how to make  them. There is a lot of preparation for the tapioca however, as you tasted today, they are well worth the effort. You may also wish to try the non-gluten free version. The recipe is just the same.
