Pictured is a farmhouse lunch, recently enjoyed by our international contributor Ian on a major tree plantation in Espirito Santo, Brazil, just north of Rio. The pie was prepared with a layer of egg white, hiding the spicy crab meat below. Badejo (Black Grouper) was done in the Espirito Santo or Capixapa style, with the [...]
I am cheating on my new healthy lunch regime and going for the deluxe chirashi don at @sushizeroone! My favorite!
