Pati Jinich talks through Mexican cuisine like we've never heard it before, and we must warn you, you will leave this episode hungry. As the host of the 3x James Beard Award-winning PBS television series “Pati’s Mexican Table,” resident chef at the Mexican Cultural Institute in Washington, D.C., and a cookbook author, Pati is the perfect person to share the traditions of Mexican food, including its common denominators and regional pillars, the international food found in Mexico worth eating, and the Mexican plates foreigners don't know about that they should seek out.
This episode is packed with specific foods you'll want to try when you're in Mexico, and Pati's explanations of exactly how some of these dishes are made will leave your mouth watering. She includes important details like why some Mexican dishes can be done really well in other countries around the world, while others won't taste the same because the ingredients won't be the same. We also learn a lot of fun facts, such as that oregano from different parts of Mexico tastes different.
In addition, Pati teaches us what malinchista means and why the cuisine of Mexico making it to the UNESCO list helped the people of Mexico be prouder of their food. She also talks about the U.S. perception of Mexican food and how to stay safe while visiting Mexico.
