Brazil is the kingdom of fusion food, where Portuguese, African, Indigenous and Japanese culinary cultures meet and mix.
For this spectacular journey, Fred Chesneau travels across a country 17 times larger than France, discovering flavours that are as visual and spiritual as they are delicious.

In Rio de Janeiro, he tastes the iconic feijoada, the national dish.
In São Paulo, home to the largest Japanese community outside Japan, he learns the art of sushi.
In Rio Grande do Sul, he fulfils a childhood dream by living the cowboy life of the gauchos.
In Bahia, he uncovers recipes rooted in African traditions and spiritual practices.
Finally, in Belém, at the gateway to the Amazon, Fred learns ancestral cooking techniques from an Indigenous community.

A colourful, generous and vibrant exploration of Brazil’s culinary soul.

Directed by Frédéric Réau
