Que Rico! Abuela's Table, Rebuilt

My avo was from Niteroi. My abuela was from Havana. Neither of them ever wrote a recipe down, and for most of my childhood they never met. This book is what happened when I finally measured everything.

Thirty recipes from both sides of my family, rebuilt with more protein and less of the fat that used to do all the work. Nothing here is a diet and nothing here has been made polite. The feijoada still takes an afternoon. The cubano still gets pressed until it gives up. The brigadeiros still disappear first. What changed is that every quantity is written down, so you do not have to guess.

WHAT IS INSIDE

30 complete recipes, tested and written in grams and cups. Protein per serving on every single one. A protein swap note on each, so you can push it higher or lower. A cook's tip on each, the thing I only learned by getting it wrong. Five indexes: by main ingredient, by total time, by occasion, by allergen, by protein per serving. A conversion page and an oven and air fryer temperature chart. 67 full-colour pages, A4, print ready PDF. Nineteen full-page dish photographs.

BRAZIL: feijoada, coconut shrimp stew, pao de queijo, brigadeiro, acai bowl, farofa with eggs and turkey bacon, air fryer coxinha and more.

CUBA: ropa vieja, cubano, croquetas, picadillo, black beans and rice, cortadito protein shake, flan de la abuela and more.

Instant download. Read it on a phone, a tablet, or print it and let it get covered in flour. That is what it is for.
