You shouldn't curse Yemanja!

Good morning. I am Isabella Oliveira,
and I am your new teacher.
:14:22
I come from a place called Bahia
in the northeast of Brazil.
:14:26
There we have a very unique way of cooking.
:14:30
So I will not give you my recipes.
:14:34
I will show you what inspires me in the hope
that you will find your own inspiration. OK?
:14:40
I think that to cook well, you must bring
all your feelings and experience
:14:45
to the act of creation.
:14:49
Let's start with my passion:
:14:53
Chili peppers.
:14:55
They're from the Americas, and were found
here long before the arrival of Columbus.
:15:01
Hold them in your hand. Notice the colors.
:15:05
Now sniff.
:15:07
OK, what do you smell?
Can you describe the sensation?
:15:12
How about you?
:15:17
I smell...
:15:19
a walk on a moonlit beach in Acapulco.
:15:24
When did you become a poet?
:15:25
What do you expect me to say?
It smells like a vegetable?
:15:30
So now here's my favorite.
"Malagueta" pepper.
:15:35
Don't be fooled by its tiny size.
On the heat scale it is a very hot ten.
:15:40
But what I love most about it is its smell.
:15:44
Its aroma.
:15:46
And a flavor you can never forget.
