História com Sabor

História com Sabor is a collection of object-books that travels through Brazil city by city, connecting the history of historic cities with traditional recipes passed down through generations. The project focuses on pairing the cultural and architectural memory of Brazilian towns with their regional cuisine, presenting narratives and recipes together in a designed format intended to be kept and gifted.

The collection begins with a volume dedicated to Minas Gerais, featuring ten historic cities and fifty recipes, and additional volumes covering Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina are in production or research stages. The project is associated with MediaToBook and invites people to join a waitlist to be the first to know when each volume arrives.

Each volume reunites regions of a same land, with histories narrated with care and traditional recipes rescued. The books are diagrammed with the care of an object to keep, leaf through and gift, making them beautiful to have on the shelf and open in the kitchen.

The first volume covers Minas Gerais, featuring ten historic cities and fifty recipes ranging from gold to the cheese of Serro. It offers an immersion in the history of Minas, using the traditional table as a setting.

The project started in Ouro Preto, where a fascination with the historic cities of Minas Gerais—their constructions, churches, and the richness of their cuisine—led to the question of why Brazil does not tell its city history with the beauty they deserve.

The collection includes volumes on Rio Grande do Sul, described as the frontier floor and mosaic of the mountains where the pampa, immigration, and battles shaped a history of deep roots guarded in the living memory of fire and embers.

Santa Catarina's volume explores ten cities and ten worlds, featuring Açorians, Germans, Italians, and serranos in one land, preserving the heritage of its colonizers in every recipe.

São Paulo's volume covers the interior that coffee raised and time guarded, revealing little-known Paulista cities through history and their cuisine.

The website states that each city holds a memory, each memory preserves a flavor, and each flavor tells a story, emphasizing that the recipe is a valuable heritage just like the architecture preserved by time.

The collection is not a travel guide nor a common recipe book; it is a narrative that enters through the kitchen door where time left its most vivid testimony.

The project aims to unite memories stored in churches, old mansions, and archives with the aromas coming from their kitchens, treating the recipe as a valuable heritage alongside architecture.

The business provides a list of benefits for joining the pioneer list, including unpublished chapters, research behind-the-scenes, exclusive photographs, historical maps, advanced recipes, news of new states, and previews of each city.

The project is currently in the stage of being born, with volumes in production or research stages, and invites people to enter a list to be notified before the books reach bookstores.

The business offers a way to follow the birth of each volume by entering a list of pioneers, which also serves as a method to get started or stay updated on the collection's progress.
