Well, the official start of winter here in Brazil (21st June) is just a few days away. So far it hasn't been too cold, but we've already started eating some of the traditional winter foods. (With temperatures plummeting into the low teens at night we need to warm our tummies)

| Not-so-little broths - take your pick |
At OM Brazil, we generally get the whole team together once a month for a "confraternização" to celebrate birthdays or anniversaries, and of course to eat and talk. If there aren't any birthdays or anniversaries we think of some other excuse. Last Friday we had a wonderful selection of "Caldinho", which literally means "little broth". Caldinho can be any flavour you like, but some of the typical ingredients include beans (feijão), and cassava (mandioca).
For this month's get-together we had some caldinho-first-timers - visitors from OM Ecuador and from Finland, who like everyone else sampled a little of each one. My favourite was "Canjiquinha" which is a brazilian type of corn grits. We are very grateful to the kitchen team who worked hard to get all five caldinhos ready on time.
