Recipe for Travel – with Bel Coelho (or Assiete Brésilienne ) is a television series presented by the famous Chef Bel Coelho. In the series, Bel Coelho travels throughout Brazil to discover its history, culture, and people through the flavors of the national cuisine. She begins her long journey traveling to Bahia, where the Portuguese discovered Brazil, and where African roots are most visible in the country. Later, she explores the Amazon Rainforest, where she will encounter the first inhabitants of Brazil, the indigenous peoples.

Her journey continues through the Northeast region, exploring its influences on coastal cities. Then, Bel visits the arid lands of the Northeastern Sertão to celebrate the traditional Festa Junina in Caruaru. Her Northeastern tour concludes with a look at the influence of sugarcane on the famous desserts of Alagoas. The next leg of the trip will be to the interior of Brazil, where Bel will discover Minas Gerais and its history of gold mining, as well as showcase the rich cuisine of the Pantanal and its diverse wildlife. Her extensive expedition through the central part of the country ends with a stop in Brasília to savor the food of the Cerrado region.

In the South and Southeast, Belém reveals the strong influence of immigrants on our culture and cuisine. Italians, Germans, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Arabs, among many other peoples, help us understand Brazilian culture.
