Manihot Utilissima Pohl

Mandioca, central to the Brazilian food tradition, is celebrated in this book by Brazil's renowned chef, Alex Atala. Found throughout Brazil, from the Amazon to Santa Catarina, it's woven into our history and stands resilient against modern industrialization.

The book's design honors this root: the brown dust jacket symbolizes its bark, while the white cover represents its core.
