Sunny Brazil is famous for its fragrant cuisine. Brazilians love cooking and always do it with pleasure. Brazilian cuisine combines its own flavor with influences from different parts of the world. In the Brazilian South, you can find dishes with a German tinge, the tropical Northeast offers a taste of Africa, and the Middle East gave Brazil chopped beef croquettes and "Tabule" - a vegetable salad with spices and olive oil.
