There has been an evolution in Brazilian cuisine since the appearance of D.O.M, the first 2-Star Michelin restaurant in Brazil. Founder of D.O.M, Chef Alex Atala replaced commonly used ingredients in haute cuisine with local ingredients and pushed Brazilian cuisine to another level. Chef Alex Atala\u2019s creativity and culinary techniques inspired Agnes a lot in recent years.<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0\u00a9mobichef.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Signature Brazilian dishes recommended by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobichef.com\/Chef\/Agnes-Lessa\">Chef Agnes <\/a><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0\u00a9mobichef.com<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For dessert lovers, Agnes recommends a signature dessert called Brigadeiro, which is an iconic dessert and embodies in Brazilians\u2019 childhood memory.
