10 Things to do in Historic City Center That You Shouldn't Miss

September 29, 2021 Sachiko Swiger

Named for a local swamp fish, Paraty sits on Brazil's southeastern coast, 125 miles south of Rio, with the Bocaino Mountains at its back. The small colonial town's center is a national historic monument with well-preserved buildings on its pedestrian-only streets. Take a boat trip out into the bay to the flotillas of islands and coves nearby. Explore sugarcane plantations and hike or take a train through Atlantica Forest. Keep an eye out for the monkeys that roam the cobblestone streets.

Academy of Cooking and Other Pleasures

Join renowned Brazilian chef Yara Castro Roberts and retired French/American executive Richard Roberts to prepare and enjoy together a refined Brazilian dinner with the best of Brazilian cuisine. The menus are from six regional and historical cuisines such as Minas Gerais, Bahia, Amazonas, Cerrado. These are also the subject of our new book “The Brazilian Table” that have been nominated and a finalist at International book awards. The evening begins at 8:00 PM sharp and end about 11:30. We start by serving a caipirinha and Richard Roberts shows a unique way to make it. Next, guests are invited to gather around the stove to join or just watch the preparation of the dishes. Then we all sit at our decorated table and enjoy the four-course dinner we made together, with wine from Argentina or Chile. We end with coffee or mint tea and a tasting of aged cachaça.

I love learning about food and so make a habit of doing a cooking class where possible when on holiday. There are two differences with Richard and Yara’s - first of all their explanation of the links between cuisine, culture and history, which really adds to the enjoyment of the food. Secondly, the story of how they came to be in Paraty and their passion for what they do makes the entire evening somewhat magical. To an extent what has been written in some previews reviews is true - the cooking duties are divided between the group and so you do not personally construct each part of the meal from start to finish. However, I think this is a huge benefit as you engage much more with the other guests during the process and there is more time to enjoy the meal over excellent conversation. We had a truly wonderful evening and if I ever come back to Paraty I will definitely book another evening with Richard and Yara!
