AFirst of all I have to confess that I wasn't born in Antonina or Morretes. I'm either Paranaense. Born in Presidente Epitácio, São Paulo, my link or, my passion about Barreado went out ocassionally. It was something you can call "love at first forked".

I still was in first grade of Journalism Faculty at Universidade Federal from Paraná when I was invited by creation and art team from Senac-PR, in Curitiba. It was in 1972, in this time I knew Barreado.

I'd participated in search and development from national divulgation when I was presented to Barreado. I thought it was as normal as every tipical dish I've ever tasted, But I fell in love with it for the rest of my life. When I make Barreado in my home, I eat it many days in breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sincerelly, I haven't appetite for any other dish.

All information in this web site come from long time searches about Barreado history, receipts, and folklore aroud the Barreado, including interview with cooks from Antonina e Morretes, in Paraná littoral.

All of these is result of a long time experience. If you have any questions or complaints I'm here to hear you in avelar@torque.com.br.
