by Sueli Loiola The Consulado Mineiro is a typical Brazilian restaurant. Why? Well, the cookery from Minas Gerais is a part of our cookery as well.By the way, the Sao Paulo's cookery is a mix because people around the world and also, from many places in Brazil bring with them their cultures including the cookery. Minas Gerais is a state near the state of Sao Paulo and it's well known as a coffee producer since 20th century. Also, it's a state with a historical importance. For example, if you're interested about the History of Minas Gerais, you can find some important name of presidents, important authors as Guimarães Rosa and a lot of stuffs about slavery as well. Some well known recipes for us, come from Minas Gerais such as Feijoada, Tutu à Mineira (Pork loin; mashed beans; cabbage; crackling; rice), Feijão Tropeiro (Pork loin; mix of beans; corn-flower and vegetables; cabbage;crackling; rice), etc. So, maybe you're wondering why I'm writing about Minas, if my blog is about Sao Paulo. Well, as I told you before, there are some things from many places that it belongs to our local culture and it's common to find a lot of restaurants specialized in Minas' cookery. For this reason, I'm recommending Consulado Mineiro! All their menu is dedicated to Minas Gerais. Also, they are the most recommended restaurant among clients which visited it. So, you're invited to appreciate them. If you're curious, check their website | |
