White rice is added later and for the final touch, guava juice is mixed in.\u003cbr/\u003eAt the \"Cook in Rio\" school students get to try hands on cooking and eating the food later is only part of the fun. \u003cbr/\u003eSimone Almeida's is the first of a trend in cooking schools for tourists. \u003cbr/\u003eThere are three of them in Rio now. But Simone's is the oldest and her cheerful spirit is an added attraction.\u003cbr/\u003eAdam Broft came to Rio to learn the Portuguese language and is interested in widening his experience.  \u003cbr/\u003e\"For me it's absolutely unique. It's just I'm trying to discover as much as possible about Brazil and about Rio and I was really looking to do anything that would enhance that sort of knowledge and cooking is a great way to know about local culture.\" \u003cbr/\u003eJudy Hazelton, a Canadian living in Rio has been here many times and brought two of her friends who are here visiting. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Everything is different here from what you are used to back home, so you want to try different spices, different fruit, different meats, you want to try everything that they have available here so you can take it home with you and then have an international flare at home,\" she says. \u003cbr/\u003eCindy Garvin, from New York thinks she might go for a Brazilian dinner this Christmas:\u003cbr/\u003e\"It's so beautiful it would add colour to the table and the flavours are so different from our traditional Christmas dishes which are usually very salty and more savoury than these.\" I definitely will try it.\" \u003cbr/\u003eThe main attraction here is perhaps the opportunity to befriend others while engaging in conversation about food and life in general. \u003cbr/\u003eSimone herself has made many friends while teaching:  \u003cbr/\u003e\"The best way to keep people together and socialising together - one with another one is keeping in the kitchen. It's wonderful you see people arriving here that they don't know each other and in the end we eat at a table together and we're friends.\"\u003cbr/\u003eNo Christmas lunch is complete without dessert.  In Rio fried Rabanadas are a must. \u003cbr/\u003eFirst bread, preferably from the previous day, is cut into slices, two fingers wide. \u003cbr/\u003eThe slices are soaked in milk, for a creamy inside. Two or more eggs are scrambled in a pan. \u003cbr/\u003eThe soaked pieces of bread are now dipped in the egg. The next step is to put  oil into a frying pan and heat it well until the hand cannot stand being five inches from the pan. \u003cbr/\u003eThe oil must be very hot to prevent it from soaking into the bread. \u003cbr/\u003eNext, the slices of bread are fried on both sides until they look golden on the outside. \u003cbr/\u003eAfter a little drying with kitchen paper, the slices are dipped in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.\u003cbr/\u003eThe rabanadas are now ready. The insides should be white and creamy. The outside crisp and tasty. They should be eaten while still warm.  Bon appetit.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
