D.O.M. an Exploration of Brasil Through Food D.O.M. An Exploration of Brasil Through Food By: Juliana Mattos & Paul H. Christian Photography by: Paul H. Christian World renowned Brazilian Chef Alex Atala has good reason to be proud of his restaurant – it excels on so many levels and exemplifies his passion for his native Brasil and it’s flavors. Without leaving your chair in the warm, wood-covered dining room of D.O.M., you are transported across the many regions of Brasil, and at every turn, with every bite, uncovering the magic that has made Brazilian cuisine a cultural powerhouse of food. So much has been written that at first it seemed pointless to write another ode to D.O.M. However, there are details that I have not seen fully conveyed in one article – the intertwining of traditional Brazilian flavors with modern technique and presentation, the use of indigenous, often over-looked ingredients, the seamless approach and execution by the entire team, creating an experience that stimulates, and borders on overwhelming, each and every of the diner’s senses, and the beautiful way that these elements somehow still work together in perfect harmony. In both my work with chefs and restaurants and as one who has experienced many of the top restaurants in the world, my aim is to provide a balanced perspective, while highlighting the true nature of the food and the overall experience. However, I admit up- front that I was in awe throughout the exploration. Upon embarking on ones culinary journey to D.O.M., you must first traverse through the bustling city streets of São Paolo, and it’s constant traffic. After weaving your way through one of Brasil’s many lively open-air food markets, you find yourself on a small, “quiet” cul- de-sac, and soon come face-to-face with the massive 3-plus meter tall door hiding one of the world’s top restaurants. After a warm greeting by the doorman as he slowly opened this gateway, revealing an elegant yet inviting interior, we made our way into the spacious bar area, backed by impressive windows that must be 8 meters tall. The area opens to a charming, crisp, well-lit, high-ceiling dining room with chairs, tables, and floor all made from Brazilian hardwood – yet with all the hard surfaces, it is surprisingly serene and peaceful. The central chandelier and stairs leading to a private dining room catch the eye, but the focus is the spotless, glass-enclosed kitchen and the chefs in their immaculate attire. Chef Alex wanted the theme to be one of (re)discovering Brazilian ingredients and he accomplished this with aplomb. From the start, the menu featured drinks, grains, fish, meat, cheeses, fruits, and flavors from all regions of Brasil – and all were presented in creative styles and accompaniments. While the restaurant offers tasting menus only (no à la carte), there are still multiple options for you to choose – standard or vegetarian, Optimus or Maximus (8 or 12 courses plus snacks and dessert), with or without wine pairings. We opted for the standard Maximus menu for the full experience. Although our menu listed 16 items (an introductory amuse bouche then sorbet, 12 savory dishes and 3 dessert items), we enjoyed over 20 different plates – all of appropriate but generous portion size to fully enjoy each item and leave feeling filled to sufficiency. Service was impeccable – the staff was very well trained, excellent teamwork, menus well explained and allergies noted, never an empty glass, perfectly paced, not stuffy, yet attentive and flowed smoothly. All dishes were artistically placed with style, all items removed after each course, including the crisp white tablecloth after a diner mishap made it not so white!. Many serving plates and bowls were handcrafted earthenware with colors to highlight the dish being presented. The entire menu shone. Most tasting menus have high and low points and one of the true strengths in our meal was no down dish – consistent excellence throughout. Every dish was well on-point, unique, artistically presented, with ingredients (known and unusual) representing the many regions of Brasil, prepared with creative balance to highlight the textures and flavors of each item. The menu is interesting and creative so it is well worth describing every item. But it might be best to eat first, as these vignettes will make you hungry! The amuse-bouche, an introduction to the meal by means of one of Brasil’s most famous exports, the caipirinha. An explosion of cachaça (Brasil’s renowned sugar cane rum) and lime in a hardened, crusted sugar treat taken in one bite. This was followed by a Brazilian chili sorbet paired with a shot of chilled sake served in two hollowed green peppers presented in a bowl of ice. The sake was a nod to the large Japanese population of Brasil. The chili set off the sorbet and the sake awakened the palate (if it wasn’t already!!) for the next course – a “snacks’ course: five different elements served concurrently. First, we popped two bite-sized discs of mango, which sandwiched coconut sorbet topped with seaweed. The crunch of the dried mango with the creamy semi-sweet coconut sorbet was wonderfully offset by the brininess of the seaweed. Next was a quenelle of heart of palm brandade topped with a savory Cantabrico anchovy, served on a slightly charred palm husk. The contrast of the sea and land was very evident on the palate, creating a wonderfully harmonious balance of flavors in just a single mouthful. The following offering brought a spoonful of multi-colored, granular powders, intriguing to look at and delicious to consume. The spoons were comprised half each of dried farofa (toasted cassava/mandioca flour, which is a Brazilian staple used in many dishes) and bottarga (salted, cured fish roe ground to a powder), served on a small disc of tree trunk. This was a simple but effective way to again sample the earthen flavor of the root vegetable contrasted with the brininess of the roe. With barely an inch of table space not utilized by the array of dishes, we were also served a breaded oyster with sago (the edible starch from inside the trunk of a palm) in an oyster shell shaped dish. A bit of texture from the breading on the oyster played well off the the sago, crafted into gelatin-like pearls, and salmon roe. This was all encompassed within an oyster broth, adding a touch of sweetness to the dish as well. Delicious. Finally, the last item in this single course was the skin of the giant (2 meter) Amazonian river fish, the pirarucu, served over its amazing scales with a plantain puree to bring out the sweetness. The effect was perfect as the flavor and richness of the elements complemented each other, while the crunch of the skin with the smooth, silkiness of the puree comprised a truly harmonious bite. After the table was again cleared and we were given a brief opportunity to take a breath in between bites and reflect on the meal so far. Only three courses in and already well into our journey through Brasil and it’s vast varieties of ingredients and flavors. A few moments later, we were presented a gorgeous, earthenware dish of slightly cured, almost raw sea bass with julienned cará (a Brazilian white yam, quiet different from the version commonly found in the US), with a small bright yellow dollop of a citrus puree and some fresh herbs. This was accompanied by an açaí sauce that was poured tableside creating a small pool surrounding the fish. The delicate texture and flavor of the salt-cured sea bass paired with the earthiness of the cará, is set off by the sweet and sour combination of the citrus puree and the açaí sauce, creating a truly well-rounded flavor profile and certainly a highlight of the meal. One of the primary continuities between the courses was the constant use of the indigenous fruits to elevate the other ingredients and explore unique flavor combinations. The next dish was no different, coming in two parts with the pairing of a scampi and coconut against coconut and scampi, a very clever juxtaposition. The first was shrimp served sandwiching a slice of fresh shaved coconut. This was partially immersed in a scampi broth with parsley and tomato. The second plate was a coconut “cake”, a light, airy puffed coconut creation that encapsulated the scampi and over which was sprinkled dried coconut. The coconut didn’t overpower the scampi in either scenario and the two methods of preparation gave different texture experiences, and even separate flavor profiles, to the same ingredients. The bread course followed, an excellent intermezzo between the lighter appetizer courses and the upcoming main plates. Brazilian native manioc bread with one each of a baked and a caramelized garlic, served with curd set in olive oil from the Mantiqueira mountains and accompanied by the must-have traditional pão de queijo (cheese bread), elegantly served on a D.O.M. embossed papiere on plate. The manioc bread, soft with the consistency similar to a thick crepe, was served warm on a heated tile covered with napkins and was rich manioc flavor. The silky light curd combined well with the bread and the light richness of the olive oil and the complexity of the two differently cooked pungent garlics. We next moved northward with a heart of palm ravioli. This was a play on vatapá, an Afro- Brazilian dish common in the north, and was presented as a folded packet with tiny shrimp inside, surrounded by a coconut milk sauce.

  • Palm Tree Care
    Palm Tree Care Introduction To think of Florida without imagining palm lined beaches, pink flamingos, and blue water is difficult. Palms trees are synonymous with our semi-tropical climate. This brochure will help you learn the basic needs of these tropical treasures. Palm Selection: Look at neighborhood palms and see which ones seem to thrive in your area. Take advantage of the many local nurseries within Broward County where you can see the many varieties of palms available. In most cases you can select and tag the palm that will be delivered to your property. Finally, you might go to one of your County Library Branches and look at a Florida Landscape Plants reference guide. You can obtain many ideas for Species selection and placement that could save you much time and effort. Lethal Yellowing susceptibility of many of Florida's palms makes it prudent to select a resistant species. This disease causes the bloom to turn black and the immature fruit to drop, followed by the yellowing of fronds from the lower to the upper areas, culminating in bud rot and subsequent death. Lethal Yellowing is transferred by the insect planthopper or leafhopper (Myndus crudus). Manila palms and many varieties of the Coconut palm are particularly vulnerable to this disease. Native palms are generally more resistant. These include Sabal palm, Royal palm, Paurotis palm, Florida Thatch palm and Key Thatch palms. Non- native resistant palms include Alexander, Queen, Washingtonia, Maypan Coconut, and other species. Further information about resistant palms can be obtained from the Broward County Cooperative Extension Service.

  • Some Pre-Boom Developers of Dade County : Tequesta
    Some Pre-Boom Developers of Dade County By ADAM G. ADAMS The great land boom in Florida was centered in 1925. Since that time much has been written about the more colorful participants in developments leading to the climax. John S. Collins, the Lummus brothers and Carl Fisher at Miami Beach and George E. Merrick at Coral Gables, have had much well deserved attention. Many others whose names were household words before and during the boom are now all but forgotten. This is an effort, necessarily limited, to give a brief description of the times and to recall the names of a few of those less prominent, withal important develop- ers of Dade County. It seems strange now that South Florida was so long in being discovered. The great migration westward which went on for most of the 19th Century in the United States had done little to change the Southeast. The cities along the coast, Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, Pensacola, Mobile and New Orleans were very old communities. They had been settled for a hundred years or more. These old communities were still struggling to overcome the domination of an economy controlled by the North. By the turn of the century Progressives were beginning to be heard, those who were rebelling against the alleged strangle hold the Corporations had on the People. This struggle was vehement in Florida, including Dade County. Florida had almost been forgotten since the Seminole Wars. There were no roads penetrating the 350 miles to Miami. All traffic was through Jacksonville, by rail or water. There resided the big merchants, the promi- nent lawyers and the ruling politicians.

  • Blueberry Coconut Crumb
    Blueberry-Mango Crumb Pie Here we take a traditional blueberry pie and give it a tropical twist with some chopped mango and - if you like - a little bit of canned pineapple. Then, in keeping with the tropical vibe, we add flaked coconut to the topping. Use your favorite crust or the Buttermilk Pie Dough that follows. -Buttermilk Pie Dough (page 2) -1/2 cup sugar Filling -1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch -3 cups fresh blueberries (1 1/2 pints) -pinch of salt -1 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks, cut in Coconut Crumb Topping small dice OR 1 cup mango plus 1/2 cup -3/4 cup all-purpose flour crushed or diced pineapple -3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut -1 tablespoon lemon juice -1/2 cup sugar -2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest -1/4 teaspoon salt -3/4 teaspoon coconut extract (optional) -5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced 1. Prepare and refrigerate the pie dough for 30 to 45 minutes, if you haven't already. Roll the dough into an 11 1/2 to 12-inch circle and line a standard - not deep- dish - 9 or 9 1/2 inch pie pan with it, sculpting the overhanging dough into an upstanding ridge. Flute, if desired, then refrigerate the pie shell. 2. Prepare the Coconut Crumb Topping: Combine the flour, coconut, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Process briefly, to mix. Add the butter and pulse repeatedly, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Turn it out into a shallow casserole dish and rub with your fingers to smear the butter into the mixture.

  • Polynesian Canoe Plants, Including Breadfruit, Taro, and Coconut: the Ultimate in Sustainability Planning Posted on June 27, 2019 by Leslie Lang
    HOME HOURS & DIRECTIONS GARDEN SLIDESHOW GARDEN NEWS & BLOG Polynesian Canoe Plants, Including Breadfruit, Taro, and Coconut: the Ultimate in Sustainability Planning Posted on June 27, 2019 by Leslie Lang Do you know about “canoe plants?” These are the plants—such as kalo (taro), ‘ulu (breadfruit), and niu (coconut), among others—that Polynesians brought in their carefully-stocked voyaging canoes perhaps 1,600 years ago when they first settled in Hawai‘i. Canoe plants are one more piece of the evidence showing us that the people who colonized Hawai‘i were intelligent voyagers who came in planned expeditions, not islanders who drifted here unintentionally. Not only did they successfully navigate the oceans like highways, but before they left home to explore and settle new lands, they pr​​epared themselves well. After all, they had to sustain themselves both during their long journeys and also upon arrival in a new island group, where they didn’t know what resources they would find. They maximized their limited space by packing seeds, roots, shoots, and cuttings of their most critical plants, the ones they relied on the most for food, medicine, and for making containers, fabric, cordage, and more. We can identify about 24 plants that arrived in Hawai‘i as canoe plants. You can see samples of some of them at Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden. The Most Significant Polynesian Canoe Plants: ‘Ulu ‘Ulu (Artocarpus altilis, Artocarpus incisus or Artocarpus communis) belongs to the Moracceae (fig or mulberry) family. Known in English as breadfruit, the ‘ulu tree produces a “fruit” that is actually a vegetable with a high carbohydrate content.

A VICTORIAN PALM COURT INTRODUCTION Palms comprise a very useful plant family, second only in economic importance to the grasses which supply us with wheat, rice, barley, oats, and other grains. Palms provide the world with food (dates, coconuts, palm oil, hearts of palm), beverages (coconut milk, palm wine), clothing (raincoats, hats), medicines (betel nut), construction materials (thatching, irrigation pipes, logs), rope, fiber, carnauba wax, and hundreds of other products.

  • Particleboards from Durian Peel and Coconut Coir
    The First Thai-Biomass Utilization Symposium __ _______________________________________________________ Effective Utilization of Forest Biomass for Regional People in Thailand Particleboards from Durian Peel and Coconut Coir Sarocha Charoenvai*, Jongjit Hirunlabh*, and Joseph Khedari* Abstract Manufacturing particleboards from tropical fruit peel particle; durian (Durio zibethinus ) peels and coconut coir ( Cocos nucifera ); with low thermal conductivity is the main purpose of this study. Two main parameters were investigated namely binder types, (UF 12%, PF 6% and IC 3%) and board density. In general, the effect of adhesive type on the properties of boards was not obvious whereas that of the density was more significant on most properties of boards. Experimental investigation indicated that the mechanical properties of all boards increased with increasing board density, but this decrease the dimension stability, expressed by the thickness swelling and the thermal conductivity as well.

The original plans were drawn by Colonel Joseph Totten. A violent hurricane in 1846 destroyed most of the fort’s temporary work buildings and supplies, but construction was quickly resumed. Crafts- men for the brick work were imported from Germany and Ireland. Laborers were local slaves whose owners were paid $1.00 a day for their services. This is a view of the fort as drawn by a member of the garrison. It ap- peared in Harpers Weekly, March 2, 1861. Between 1898 and 1905, deciding that the fortress would be less vulnerable if not so tall, the structure was deliberately torn down to one story.
