Brazil is hosting the Olympics this year, which start at the beginning of August, so I thought I would put together a compilation of delicious and authentic Brazilian recipes for you.
You know, in case you wanna eat like an Olympian… ?
Most of the recipes below are mine, but since there are a bunch of classics that I don’t yet have in my collection, I went ahead and found some equally amazing Brazilian recipes from blogger friends so I could at least cover the basics. Believe me, not even a collection of 100 Brazilian dishes would cover all my love for this cuisine.
I am definitely biased, but Brazilian cuisine is the best cuisine in the world. So, even if you’re not into sports, I highly recommend you make some of these. I promise you won’t regret it!

I love Brazilian foods, and there were some recipes in this roundup that I’d actually never seen before and cannot wait to try!! Great compilation!
Diana Johnson says
I love the sound of these recipes. Especially the coconut fudge balls, which combine two of my favorite treats!
Olivia says
Those are called “beijinhos”, which means “little kisses”. :) Cute, isn’t it?
Sarah @ Champagne Tastes says
This is great! I never eat at Brazilian restaurants because the ones here are usually super meat-heavy, but some of these look delicious! I love fish stew!
Olivia says
Oh, if you eat fish you would be just fine in Brazil. There are many authentic fish dishes! Vegan cuisine is somehow new, but even vegans can survive there. :)
Kushi says
Gorgeous pics and amazing collection of recipes. Bookmarked !
Tamara says
We had a Brazilian exchange student in 2005/06, and we did a Brazilian feast for his going away party… We had many of these wonderful dishes including fejoada and caipirinhas. I have to agree with your assessment – the cuisine is so flavorful! I need to make some these soon!
Amanda {Striped Sptaula} says
