You arrive in Rio as the sun leans toward the Atlantic, and the city smells of toasted cassava and sugarcane. The first evening in Ipanema is a hands-on cooking class: open flame, chopping boards, and a chorus of caipirinhas as you sear picanha and simmer Bahian moqueca. Later, the market aisles become a sensory map — bright açaí, tart acerola, and the creamy surprise of cupuaçu — each stall a short oral history of Brazil’s regions.
