A Meal for the Gods - In the kitchen of a restaurant in the Brazilian town of Bahia, the cook prepares a good, hearty dish consisting of beans and meat - a traditional Feijoada. Her guests are ragged, uncombed and barefoot - streetchildren, who are invited here once a week. Cooking and eating mean much more in Bahia than just ingesting food. The preparation of food has a deep spiritual meaning and is part of Candomble, an African religion that was brought to Brazil by slaves. Here, it mixed with Catholic and Indian traditions. So Celina not only cooks for her restaurant guests and the street children, but also for ceremonies in her Candomble community. With Silvio Rivier.
