“Breakfast at the Manguinhos Beach in Buzios, just a couple hours from Rio de Janeiro. It’s a salad of tropical fruits inside a papaya, traditional cheese bread and natural orange juice with a typical northeastern delicacy: a tapioca crepe extracted from cassava or manioc. The perfect companion to black coffee, it can be made with sweet or savory fillings. We like ours with banana filling, honey, and chocolate.” – Kel Lopes and Marcel Murphy

Tostada and Colada
“This is a Cuban "Colada" and a "Tostada". Colada is traditional Cuban-style espresso usually made using either an Italian or Spanish dark roasts. It's identical to Italian pulls, except for the addition of sugar directly to the espresso pitcher. The heat from the coffee-making process will hydrolyze some of the sucrose, creating a sweeter and slightly more viscous result than a normal pull or adding sugar at the table. A tostada is fragrant Cuban bread. It’s split and buttered inside and out, and then put in a sandwich press to toast for about three minutes. The result is a crispy and buttery outside and tender, moist and buttery inside.” - Rogger IntriagoAustralia
