Critics Review
‘Today most people know Brazilian chef Manoella (Manu) Buffara from her awards (her restaurant has been on Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards, and in 2022 she won the title of Latin America’s Best Female Chef). But in 2003, when she was only starting to work in restaurants, she traveled through Europe, planning out itineraries at libraries until her money ran out and she bought a return ticket to Brazil. The book intersperses personal stories with high-concept recipes, such as fermented sweet potato, chile, and passion fruit and kiwi and yerba mate béarnaise.’ – Plate Magazine
‘[Manu’s] food is elegant and thoughtful, she loves sourcing ingredients in thoughtful ways, and she has working relationships with her local fisherman. Most of what [Manu] does can be seen as a template for how restaurants – notably, yes, upscale restaurants – should be moving forward.’ – Mark Bittman
‘A gastronomic adventure … [and] a priceless treasure and a semi-autobiography of a woman who places family, friends, and community at the forefront of her culinary journey.’ – New York Journal of Books
