"To celebrate this book that has just arrived on ckbk, we made the vegetarian Moqueca recipe. I found it light and flavorful. I added some mushrooms I had at home and it turned out really good. To accompany it - for the non-vegetarians - I made breaded fish fillets. The combination was amazing." ckbk user, Luciana Corrêa
