By Chef Celia Maiza Pereira Alves in reference to Gluten Free Cuisine

I have always cooked since I was a child, I stayed with my mother who was a great cook. Born in Bahia, she prepared delights for the family and I always helped. I got married and continued cooking on the farm for everyone. At the age of 40, I graduated in Gastronomy and specialized in Brazilian Cuisine, which is my passion, mainly for being a gluten free cuisine – an area that I work after discovering that I had celiac disease. My first Food Safaris was in the Pantanal and then I made Belém and Ilha do Marajó. A wonderful Travel and Gastronomy experience.
