D.O.M

A showcase of the indigenous ingredients and culinary philosophy behind D.O.M., the acclaimed São Paulo restaurant helmed by Brazilian chef Alex Atala, this volume documents Atala's commitment to sourcing exclusively from the Amazon and broader Brazilian landscape rather than relying on the European pantry in which he trained. The book presents 65 recipes — ranging from Fresh Heart of Palm with Scallops and Coral Sauce to Priprioca, Lime, and Banana Ravioli — that apply classical fine-dining technique to native Brazilian produce and proteins. Aimed primarily at serious cooks and culinary professionals, it functions as both a recipe collection and an in-depth exploration of Atala's creative process and ingredient research. It is notable as Atala's first major cookbook and as a document of a broader movement to define a distinctly Brazilian haute cuisine on its own terms.
