The new edition of the Pittsburgh Latino Magazine is here and on this issue, I bring a very sweet recipe in honors of Mother’s Day! Bom apetite!

Limão em arroz doce? Mas o tempo me ensinou: o limão corta o doce sem apagar o leite, dá frescor e realça o sabor que faz a gente pedir mais!

Hello beautiful people! (Texto em Português abaixo)

First of all I want to say 2 things:

1) thank you

Thank you for all the love I received these past few days although I understand many of you are sad with the recently news.

2) I’m not moving!

This past Monday we announced the closure of after an almost 5 year run. Thank you for the love throughout the years and now during this transition!

My son brought to my attention that the original post tried to communicate that I had plans of moving or that I had left Pittsburgh. That was not the intention. Sometimes bilingual brains don’t translate things very well 😬 plus all the anxiety to share such big news were the reason behind the confusion.

On this note, I’d like to say that I’m not leaving Pittsburgh. Just ending the activities at Casa after a challenging and beautiful journey, but it’s time for me to rest a little.

My cooking journey started about 4 years before Casa and this mamma is tired after almost 10 years nonstop. I’m very thankful for the experience and for having the opportunity to show Pittsburgh a different look into Brazilian food and share a little bit of my culture since I started my journey selling lunches to my co-workers back in the downtown corporate world. Later my work evolved to private dinners, catering and pop-up events and eventually Casa Brasil.

Thankful for for joining me in this ride, all of our staff that supported us throughout the years, our investors, community partners and family and friends and for the chance to cook for yinz. I don’t have a clue of how many gallons of Moqueca, feijoada or chicken stroganoff was made in this period, but I know for sure that I’ve given my best and put lots of love on each dish we prepared. So, for now I take a break, but not retiring from cooking. A couple of years ago I opened which is another way to represent here and that’s where my focus will be. Once again thank you and see you around!
Much love🤎

Gente bonita, bora lá esclarecer algumas coisinhas.

Quero dizer duas coisinhas:
1) Muito obrigada!

Muito obrigada pelo carinho que recebi nos últimos dias ao anunciar o fechamento da Casa Brasil, apesar de saber que muitos ficaram tristes com a notícia.

2) Eu não estou de mudança!

Na última segunda-feira anunciamos o fechamento da após quase 5 anos de funcionamento. Obrigado por todo carinho ao longo dos anos e agora durante este período de transição!

Depois do post publicado, o Amyr (meu filho) chamou minha atenção para o fato de que a postagem original parecia que eu tinha planos de me mudar ou que havia saído de Pittsburgh. Essa não era a intenção. Às vezes, cérebros bilíngues não traduzem muito bem as coisas 😬 e junto com toda a ansiedade de compartilhar uma noticia tão importante acabou ficando confuso.

Então estou aqui para esclarecer que não estou deixando Pittsburgh. As atividades da Casa Brasil se encerram depois de uma jornada desafiadora e também muito bonita, mas é hora de descansar um pouco.

Minha jornada culinária começou cerca de 4 anos antes da Casa Brasil e esse corpitcho está cansada depois de quase 10 anos sem parar. Sou muito grata pela experiência e por ter a oportunidade de mostrar a Pittsburgh um olhar diferente sobre a nossa comida brasileira. E também por compartilhar um pouco da minha cultura desde da época que vendia marmitas meus colegas de trabalho no mundo corporativo do centro da cidade e mais tarde o meu trabalho evoluiu para jantares privados, catering e eventos pop-up e eventualmente Casa Brasil.

Grata pela parceria com por se juntar a mim neste capítulo. Gratidão à todos os nossos funcionários que nos apoiaram ao longo desses anos, nossos investidores, parceiros comunitários, familiares e amigos e pela chance de cozinhar para vocês.
Não faço ideia de quantos litros de moqueca, feijoada ou strogonoff de frango foram feitos nesse período, mas tenho certeza que dei o meu melhor e coloquei muito amor em cada prato que preparamos.

Quero deixar bem claro que vou desacelerar por um pouco, mas não estou me aposentando da cozinha.. Há quase 2 anos abri a que é mais uma forma de representar a aqui e na gringa é aí que vai estar o meu foco. Mais uma vez obrigado e nos vemos por aí 😉😘
