- Delicious, home-cooked Brazilian meal- Caipirinhas, Brazil's national cocktail! There is a lot to love about Brazil; the vibrant carnival culture, samba, Bossa Nova, the soccer team, white beaches and of course, the luscious Amazon forest. Though we can’t import everything that’s wonderful about Brazil, we do know a home cook who can recreate an authentic Brazilian dining experience right here in New York. Meet Carolina Santos-Neves, host of “Caro’s Concoctions” and foodie extraordinaire. She’ll be cooking up an array of Brazilian dishes to help you forget the cold season ahead. To wet your appetite, a sample of what you’ll be tasting may include Pao de Qeijo (cheese bread), Shrimp Moqueca (coconut shrimp stew), toasted Farofa (manioc flour) and roasted yuca with passion fruit vinaigrette. As it should, the night will begin with a Caipirinha (or two), the national cocktail made with cachaça, sugar and muddled limes, or in this case, your favorite seasonal fruit. You might be enlisted to help Carolina make the dessert, Brigadeiros
