About the Author

Andre Felicio was born in a Brazilian country city called Ribeirao Preto, in the State of Sao Paulo and migrated to Australia to study English at the age of 27. It was hard integrating and Andre was studying English during the day, and working as a "passador" (meat carver) at weekends in a Brazilian restaurant. Soon he started working in a commercial restaurant kitchen, and it was at that point that he decided to become a chef.

In 2007 Andre opened his first 'BRAZA Churrascaria", and soon, three more followed.

Cooking traditional Brazilian food is still one of Andre's greatest passions. BRAZA is Andre's first book.
