    So, do you love easy recipes?

    Well, we've got you covered with these 50 Easy Brazilian Must-Try Recipes.

    Most of these are recipes of mine, but there are a few from other bloggers and chefs, too.

    Of note, there are both classic and also contemporary recipes.

    Some are gluten-free or low carb, while others are quite indulgent.

    However, all of them, without exception, are easy to prepare, and all of their ingredients are readily available in local supermarkets.

    There are appetizers, snacks, breakfast, drinks, dinners, as well as desserts and more in this list of easy Brazilian recipes.

    I think it would be fair to say that I have established myself as an authority on Brazilian cuisine...

    ... both as a native of Brazil and as a professional chef who has blogged about Brazilian cuisine for many years.

    Additionally, I hope I can be forgiven for thinking that Brazilian food is the best in the world! 

    Make at least some of these dishes and you will come to agree with me.

    So here they are!
