History

The idea for the tapioca wrap was born on a happy Sunday afternoon, while I was looking to create a recipe that captured the essence of the Brazilian summer.

I remembered my visits to my grandmother's house in the interior of Pernambuco, where tapioca was always a breakfast delicacy, however, I wanted to reinvent this classic with a modern and international touch.

I remembered the mango trees that adorned his home and the avocado salads that were always present at meals.

With that in mind, I decided to combine these elements into one recipe, resulting in an explosion of tropical flavors that transport me to those sunny days whenever I prepare this delight.
