About

Come to Brazil for happy hour! Picanha is one of the most famous cuts of meat in Brazil. It’s very tender and juicy, extremely flavorful, and perfect for the barbecue. In Brazil, it is popular during happy hour and for weekend barbecues.

You’ll cook, and learn about Brazilian culture. You’ll learn about different cuts of beef, including the “picanha.” Learn a simple way to keep the meat tender and juicy. Other elements to the meal include: Versatile cassava (a root vegetable) and Brazilian vinaigrette, a vibrant condiment traditionally served with grilled meats. What is the difference between vinaigrette or “pico de gallo”? We will discuss!

On the menu:

Instructors or Guides

Sandra Evanoff

Born in the Bahia region of northern Brazil, Sandra was introduced to the kitchen at a young age while helping her mother in her small bed-and-breakfast. She also learned about fresh foods from her father, who operated a fresh fruit market. Thus began her exposure to healthy eating as they prepared food they grew themselves. Later, in university, she started a small business called "Feijoada to Go,” preparing Brazil's most traditional dish. This endeavor enhanced her culinary skills further while earning money to finance her studies. Sandra graduated in international relations in Sao Paulo, but food remains her passion, her "real carnival." After moving to the Pacific Northwest, she said she relishes the opportunity to share the the “true” ways and tastes of Brazil with others.
