North
E.g Amanzons
The cuisine of this region is heavily influenced by indigenous cuisine. One of the popular dishes is Picadinho de Jacaré (a meal made from alligator meat). Popular ingredients include turtle meat.
Northeast
E.g Bahia
Geographically the region comprises a narrow, fertile coastal plain with abundant rainfall where much of the population is found, an equally narrow transition zone called the Agreste, and a large semi-arid region called the Sertão, which is dominated by large cattle ranches. All kinds of tropical produce are grown on the coastal plain, with sugarcane and cacao being particularly abundant. Within the state of Bahia the predominant cuisine is Afro-Bahian, which evolved from plantation cooks improvising on African, Indian, and traditional Portuguese dishes using locally available ingredients.
Southeast
E.g Espírito Santo
The Southeastern region is the industrial heart of Brazil, and is home to several distinctive cooking styles for which Brazil is probably best-known.
