Description
Delve into the bright, vibrant food of Brazil with Ixta Belfrage, author of Mezcla and co-author of Ottolenghi's Flavor. Fusão means fusion in Portuguese and reflects bestselling author Ixta Belfrage's multicultural heritage, born to a Brazilian mother and an English father. It also describes Brazilian cuisine: a vibrant fusion of indigenous, Portuguese and West African influences that incorporates inspiration from diverse immigrant populations. Brazil is vast and breathtaking and defies being fully captured. Through imaginative ingredient combinations and a passion for food that should be shared, Ixta brings a glimpse of Brazil to the table with stunning photography from her travels and personal stories intertwined with delicious recipes. Sun-soaked and bursting with flavor, this is food to excite and inspire!

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"One-in-a-million creativity, Ixta's food is simply outstanding!"--Yotam Ottolenghi on Mezcla
"Ixta's multicultural roots translate to recipes in Mezcla that don't shy away from fresh herbs, chiles, spices, pickles, tropical fruits, and, yes, chocolate and caramel (thankfully!)--where a mélange of flavors comes together in new and exciting ways. I'm thrilled to add her bold, vibrant, and enticing collection of recipes to my collection . . . and you will be too!"--David Lebovitz on Mezcla
"This is such a beautiful and joyful book!"--Nigella Lawson on Mezcla
"The word yummy isn't thrown around by serious food people, but you can't look through Ixta's book and not have yummy come to mind. Each recipe is packed with bright, vibrant flavors that honor her Brazilian heritage and her deep love for Mexico and Italy. You'll want to make every dish."--Kerry Diamond, founder of Cherry Bombe on Mezcla
