I read a great article recently (wish I could recall the name of the book) that suggested that the abundance of regional techniques and flavors in what was historically "high" Mexican cuisine was because of ongoing recruitment of indigenous, female cooks who were familiar local recipes- as opposed to Europe, where "high" cuisine was often conceived by male chefs de cuisine, and carried out by a professional servant class.

First of all I had to finish organizing and cataloging my papers and he archive is about to be auctioned. Secondly, I've been working on a book and my website www.zarela.com where I have introduced a new section on naturally light Mexican food and the stats are reflecting its impact on my traffic. <br /><br />I am happy to say that I am much better.<br /><br />Zarela Martinezhttp://www.zarela.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726818504596195920.post-34255998099137141952013-02-04T18:14:58.213-06:002013-02-04T18:14:58.213-06:00Very nice article Nick.

Please also mention Margarita Carillo de Salinas, who for a very long time has been part of the "old" guard with Alicia Gironella d'Angeli. She is now back in Mexico City (Coyoacan) with Turtux restaurant and a wonderful new book about tamales, "Tamales y atoles mexicanos'. Last weeks Menu section of El Universal featured a double page with her tamal recipes.<br />kirstenwesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05249457511891607776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726818504596195920.post-79283873126850408802013-02-04T18:04:20.038-06:002013-02-04T18:04:20.038-06:00HI NICK - In 1997 I participated in a four-week pr...HI NICK - In 1997 I participated in a four-week program of international cuisine at the Escuela Ambrosia del Bosque in San Angel. Chef Alicia Gironella d’Angeli conducted the Mexican portion of the program. I knew at the time she was a stellar instructor, I just didn't know how esteemed she is. I hope to see you again soon.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04444970909164267279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726818504596195920.post-20231642326439035812011-04-10T11:57:07.569-05:002011-04-10T11:57:07.569-05:00Thank you for acknowledging women's contributi...Thank you for acknowledging women's contributions in Mexican cooking. This was very informative. Love El Tajin in Coyoacan. It has such a fresh atmosphere and looks out on a green lawn. They offer a great pastel de elote and possibly the best Chiles en Nogada in September. I also like their pescado a la veracruzana. A good friend just recommended El Bajio. It's on my list of must-tries. I trust anything you recommend Nicholas.Michelle Benoithttp://chocolatecentral.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726818504596195920.post-23746079031796981932009-01-29T21:42:00.000-06:002009-01-29T21:42:00.000-06:00Yes, I certainly should include Carmen Otuño, who ...Yes, I certainly should include Carmen Otuño, who pioneered "nueva cocina" at her Isadora restaurant.
