This blog was created by me, a lover of Mexico, to share interesting facts about Mexico as I travel there, or as I struggle to learn the language, or as I am amazed by the food, the culture or the art.

Cooking with Reyna Mendoza
Cooking with Reyna Mendoza at her home in Teotitlán de Valle was like a dream come true. We walked to the market and shopped for ingredients. Then we cooked in her outside kitchen.
Reyna heating sesame seeds on a very large comal heated by wood.
The ingredients for pipian sauce which are ground by hand on a metate.
Jitomates searing on a comal for roasted tomate salsa.
How did you get to cook with Reyna? What was for dinner? Is aguacate the same as avocado? Looks delish!
