Instructor
Sandra Evanoff
Born in the Bahia region of northern Brazil, Sandra was introduced to the kitchen at a young age while helping her mother in her small bed-and-breakfast. She also learned about fresh foods from her father, who operated a fresh fruit market. Thus began her exposure to healthy eating as they prepared food they grew themselves. Later, in university, she started a small business called Feijoada to Go,” preparing Brazil's most traditional dish. This endeavor enhanced her culinary skills further while earning money to finance her studies. Sandra graduated in international relations in Sao Paulo, but food remains her passion, her real carnival. After moving to the Pacific Northwest, she said she relishes the opportunity to share the the “true” ways and tastes of Brazil with others.
