Mundane materials, from
wood scraps to soft toys,
have been transformed into
distinctly Brazilian furniture
in the hands of Humberto
and Fernando Campana.
Appropriately, the Paulistano
brothers serve up a double dose
of local culture for this month’s
recipes. Humberto oers us bacalhau
à Gomes de Sá (salt cod), like their
grandma used to make, while Fernando
opts for beef brochette with mushrooms,
potatoes and béarnaise sauce,
an o-the-menu dish from São Paulo
restaurant La Casserole. ‘It combines
a staple of French cuisine with the
everyday food of the Brazilian
Sertão,’ he says. Shown here in
deconstructed form, their
dishes are proof that, like the
best furniture, great food
can come from humble
origins. lacasserole.com.br.
