Aprazivel Cooking Experience

Castelinho38 has been kindly invited to partecipate(together with Solar de Santa, Marriot Hotels, Sofitel RIO and Ipanema Plaza) to a freshly new Cultural Experience perfectly organized by Marcio Macedo, founder and director of CURUMIM ECO CULTURAL TOURS (www.curumim.tur.br)



The Cooking Experience starts in the morning with a visit to one of Rio's typical feiras - open markets.. Along with the pleasure of choosing some of the ingredients that will be part of the meal, the colorful scenery and the exuberant tastes and smells are part of this experience.



We then arrived in Santa Teresa where Aprazível, one of the most charming and best regarded restaurants in Rio de Janeiro, is located.



A wine and a cachaça cellar and an open and inviting kitchen set the stage for a unique Brazilian culinary experience. There are 3 courses - appetizer, main dish and desert - that are prepared using recipes from the many different regions in the country and that represent the rich influence of Indians, Africans and Europeans, ethnical components of the Brazilian cuisine.



During the meal all of the recipe's details, preparation tips and the history of each dish are candidly presented by the chef and enthusiasts are encouraged to participate.



We will definetely recommend this wonderful experience to our guests, thanks again for your sweetness and kindeness to Aprazivel Staff and Curumim Tours!!
