there is a special section of carioquices (carioca specialities), including sushi at markets and feijoadas (black bean and meat stews) at samba schools.

this gastronomic tour guide is highly eclectic and democratic, offering recipes from beach kiosks to upscale delis, spanning an impressive range of prices and locations - it encompasses the innovative and the traditional, the cosmopolitan and familiar. 

amongst the many culinary splendors included are manioc and shrimp pastries at the lagoa, sweets from the famous confeitaria colombo (colombo confectionary), pies in ipanema and specialty roast kid from lapa. 

the index at the back is arranged so that readers can search by type of cuisine, as well as by specialty or neighborhood - guia do gosto carioca (carioca taste guide) is availbel via livraria folha on this link, or via livraria travessa here.
