To my readers:<br />

Good food in Mexico City will no longer be located at <b>www.goodfoodmexicocity.blogspot.com</b>;<br />
I have redesigned the site and it is now a full fledged web page:<br />
<br />

“They’re trying to bring back ‘the Pearl’,” quipped my
friend B. skeptically. Poor Acapulco was once referred to as the “Pearl
of the Pacific.” It’s now like a beauty contest winner who didn’t age well. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As the greedy “they” (the politico/business cartel)
developed the hell out of the divine bayside paradise, Acapulco, once the most
beautiful spot in Mexico, decayed. High rise towers block neighbor’s views both inward
and out. Convenience stores scar nearly every corner. The development is “not
just ugly, it’s stupid!” B. opined.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then
the tourists stopped coming. First the narco violence, then the floods kept
them away. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But tourism is the town’s cash cow, and local and federal
governments are trying to do something to lure it back. One high rolling telecommunications
tycoon has donated some pocket change in order to spruce up the old pearl.<o:p></o:p></div>

What do you do after drug mafiosos sully your reputation for
safety, floods leave your airport under six feet of water, and mudslides
devastate your surrounding communities?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As any Jewish mother would say..."Eat!"<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Less than three weeks after the floods had subsided, the
state of Guerrero held a food fair to bring some culture back to the former playground
of the rich and famous. <o:p></o:p></div>

The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Foro Mundial de la
Gastronomía Méxicana</i>, (World Forum of Mexican Gastronomy) took place over
four chow-filled days in a large, generic expo hall, the Expomundo Imperial. Chefs,
cooks, students, and the food-loving press frolicked about, tasting, sniffing,
exchanging culinary thoughts and generally celebrating the marvels that our
country’s cooking has to offer. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The forum was loosely based on the paradigm laid out by Peru’s
Mistura, the enormously popular food event held every year in Lima, which draws
hundreds of thousands of hungry locals and visitors. We’re a little
embarrassed that a country with less recourse can get something like that
together well ahead of us--so it’s time to compete. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A series of lectures, round tables, and demonstrations took
place while stands dedicated to feeding the crowds were staffed by extraordinary
regional cooks. Star Mexican chefs were on hand. I spotted most of the reverable
“Great Ladies of Mexican Cooking” : Alicia Gironella Di Angelis, Patricia Quintana,
Mónica Patiño, Martha Chapa and Margarita Carrillo de Salinas circulated, and
vying cuisine kings Ricardo Muñoz Zurita and Enrique Olvera attracted their
adoring fans. Royal Brit foodie Tom Parker-Bowles lauded his passion for Mexican food.<o:p></o:p></div>

The event was divided into several didactic themes, each led
by an expert. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cocina de ida y vuelta</i>,
was organized by local restauranteur Eduardo Wichtendahl Palazuelos. This
lecture/demo tried valiantly to tie Mexico and its cuisine to the South Asian
countries once served by the Nao fleets. Thai, Philippine and Malaysian chefs
expounded and compared. But, other than the obvious “we gave them chilies, they
gave us mangos”, the presentation was more academic than fruitful. <o:p></o:p></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">La Cocina Avanzada</i>,
coordinated by Enrique Olvera studied important trends in global culinary arts.
Olvera, whose Mexico City restaurant Pujol seems to be on everyone’s must-do
list, appeared to a SRO crowd. He walked his adoring fans through a visual tour
of his most recent ten-course tasting menu. Olvera’s done much to bring Mexico
to the attention of the gastro-world and its serious students – toques off to
chef Enrique. <o:p></o:p></div>

But the sleeper event, relegated to the half-mast last day,

“It makes me want to cry!” exclaimed Nanae, a <i>chilanga </i>of part-Japanese descent. “I haven’t had sushi so good since Tokyo” she explained, wiping away a tear. We were feasting at Rokai, the new spot for eclectic and extraordinary traditional Japanese cooking. Seated at the house's two tables, pushed together, were this reporter, the chef of one
hot corner Roma bistro who knows a thing or two about fish, and a group of very
professional diners--all of whom had been to Japan.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Rokai</b>,<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>situated on a quiet street in the formerly gastronomically sparse Colonia Cuauhtemoc, is
a venue <span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">for master chef Hiroshi Kawahito’s fine-tuned cooking. The
judiciously brief menu features an </span><i style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">omakase, </i><i><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-language: ES; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span></i><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">which translates
as “leave it to you”, i.e. what the chef wants to serve: it's a multi course Japanese feast. </span>I’ll leave it to this chef, L.A.-born of Japanese ancestry, who moved
to Tokyo where he learned the fine art of sushi cutting. New to Mexico, he’s a
master of raw fish. His menu that includes a soup, a <i>karaage</i> dish (miso marinated
and sauteed), a <i>katsu</i> (breaded and
fried), as well as plates of fine sushi and sashimi, is creative and intriguing. But this simple
description doesn’t do the menu justice. Each plate, arranged with a savvy
designer’s eye by assistant Daisuke is a work of art unto itself.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p> </o:p><i>Pulpo</i> (octopus) appears
in various guises, but always takes a starring role. As “carpaccio”, sliced
razor thin, it’s buttery, and complemented with a sprinkling of black and white
sesame seeds, so that its delicate flavor is never trumped. A deep fried morsel
works less well, as the texture becomes a bit rubbery, but graceful aromas
still tickle the nose.</div>

katsu lamb, served with a little bowl of tartar sauce, is crusty without, juicy

A <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">karaage</i>-style bacalao
has been expertly baked; the simple, intense but gentle fishiness of the cod is
winningly complemented by the caramelized miso and mirin sauce – the bistro

Finally, I feel like Audrey Hepburn at Tiffany’s when the
most gorgeous plate of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">nigiri</i> sushi
I’ve ever seen is unceremoniously set at the table. Each adroitly crafted
morsel sparkles jewel-like and defies the eater to touch. But we do, again and
again, because the supremely fresh fish, along with its bed of rice, seasoned
just so, is too good just to look at. <o:p></o:p></div>

The most exciting thing that’s going on resto-gastronomy
wise here in the capital isn’t fusion, isn’t so-called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">cocina del autor</i>. It’s the back-to-basics celebration of tradition.
Remember when Rosemary Clooney stopped trying to make the hit parade and recorded
a series of jazz/standard albums, continuing to do so for the next 30 years? (Well
I do.) Traditions are deep-rooted, trends evaporate. New venues that pay homage
to the past are opening and that’s a good thing.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
So it’s with open arms that we welcome the latest house of
mirth, the tongue-twistingly named Angelopolitano. Housed in the shell of an
old residence on the hipster-free Roma/Condesa border, this smartly appointed
but unpretentious establishment offers Poblano cooking with a modern touch. By
that I mean that generations-old, family-tested recipes are artfully prepared. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Young Puebla-born chef Gerardo Quezadas respects grandma’s
wise ways. He freshens flavors and presentation, bringing his food into the 21<sup>st</sup>
century while maintaining the integrity of the 19<sup>th</sup>, from which most
of these preparations emanate. Puebla, whose grandeur reached an apex during
the late colonial and early independent eras, is steeped in both the indigenous
and Euro styles. But lumbering sauces, laden with nuts, cream and a myriad of chilies
and spices can overwhelm the contemporary diner used to more fine-spun fare. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The menu at Angelopolitano is anchored in Puebla standards such
as mole, both the chocolaty poblano and the nutty verde varieties, but the
anchor isn’t stuck in the mud. There are also rich green and red <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">pipianes,</i> and that classic,
fruit-studded dish elusive to most D.F. menus, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">manchamanteles</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And a few
more modern, creative dishes such as salmon with a mescal/tamarind/chipotle
sauce.</div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mole poblano</i> is
emblematic of the area and perhaps Mexico itself (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mas mexicano que mole</i> is the local version of ‘as American as apple
pie’). But the amalgam of sugar, spices, seeds, chilies and chocolate, when
unbalanced, can mute the palate. This kitchen’s version, from “Godmother
Clotilda’s own 19<sup>th</sup> century recipe” is done right, no mean feat
given that over 30 ingredients need to be juggled. The same expertise is
brought to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">manchamanteles</i>, once common
on bourgeois tables. Dried and fresh fruit sweeten a spiky but light
chili/tomato sauce and highlight the tender morsels of pork that rest in it.
Bravo. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p>Start with that most traditional of <i>antojitos</i>: chalupas, topped with picante green and red salsas.</o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Soups are excellent, the seasonal <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">flor de calabaza </i>shines:<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>this
sunny flower’s delicate perfume is so often elusive – not here. And that most
standard <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sopa de tortilla </i>is
exemplary –hearty and redolent of corn. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cemitas</i>, Puebla’s
version of the torta, are served on their eponymous and very fresh buns, dotted
with sesame seeds. That of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mole verde</i>
is the best I have sampled anywhere. Chicken bathed in this nut and green chili
based sauce is blanketed with shredded Oaxaca cheese and avocado. A hint of the
perfumy cilantro-like but distinct herb <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">pápalo</i>
can be detected. At $55 pesos, who’s complaining?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also worth mentioning are the two <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">pasteles</i>, savory lasagna-like concoctions that should be on every
Mexican cooks to-do list. The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">champandongo</i>
purposely resembles a chocolate layer cake. Tortillas are stacked with chicken,
mole, sweet cream and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">queso Oaxaca</i>,
baked and ‘iced’ with more mole. The beautiful presentation turns the meal into
a birthday party.</div>

The dining areas, two smaller at ground level and a larger,
older-fashioned space above, are light, airy and sleek – walls feature
contemporary black and white photos. But a welcoming old-time ambience
pervades. And the familiar feeling is reinforced by the fact that as a matter
of policy, the family employs people of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">tercera
edad</i>. So if you no longer have grandparents, you will be well taken care of
here by someone elses. <o:p></o:p></div>

While the restaurant scene in Puebla itself has exploded in

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Once again <b>wild mushrooms</b> are hitting the markets of central Mexico. Here in the capital, the month of August is peak fungus time. An extraordinary, colorful variety of them are available, mostly culled from the wilds of the states of Mexico, Hidalgo, Morelos and Puebla. Some, like the yellow <i>duraznillos</i>, the grayish <i>clavitos </i>or the spongy <i>morillas</i>, correspond closely to such Euro- appreciated and high priced treasures as <i>chanterelles</i> and morels. As a curious food writer and amateur chef I am compelled and inspired to buy and cook. </span><br />

You see, her dad’s favorite Parisian restaurant <a href="http://planetgoodfood.blogspot.com/2010/05/cest-si-bon-paris-journal.html">Moissonier</a>, serves his and her favorite dish – <i>poulet aux morilles</i>. “I’ll make it for you”, I offered hesitantly, worried about the possibly self-defeating challenge of cooking French for the French.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To shore up my confidence, I called up some local kitchen-addict friends and together we concocted a five course all-mushroom feast for 12. The French Lady was pleased – “just like home”, she exclaimed, delicately licking the last drop of creamy morel-infused sauce from her plate with her pinky. </div>

Chef <a href="http://www.themijachronicles.com/" target="_blank">Lesley Téllez</a> decided to keep us grounded in <i>nuestra tierra </i>by whipping up a <i><b>tinga de setas</b></i> to serve as a <i>botana</i>. It was pure Mexican, with a contemporary twist – pleasantly chewy threads of meaty mushroom augmented by a mildly spiky chile-infused salsa, served as rolled up tacos. She, being the atypical Mexicana, was indeed willing to share her recipe, which I include, below. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfSynvtqrG9fI-RNDo7MJ9-34suT6e8Oyek84ALkLCQFYd4jmuxBWbP_YjVajSBD4IbqPePcFJOsNfb70n_iducbYRE8USY4XAJ_qrJidk572CngkvOLy9UcLs1XIMUYoU-ZaENRjLbEs/s1600/P8020065.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636861927220731714" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfSynvtqrG9fI-RNDo7MJ9-34suT6e8Oyek84ALkLCQFYd4jmuxBWbP_YjVajSBD4IbqPePcFJOsNfb70n_iducbYRE8USY4XAJ_qrJidk572CngkvOLy9UcLs1XIMUYoU-ZaENRjLbEs/s320/P8020065.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 320px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 369px;" /></a></div>

Chef Nora Bielak, on the other hand, decided to take the French bull by the horns and threw together an elegant <span style="font-style: italic;"><b>carpaccio de hongos</b></span>, simple slivers of a large, Alice in Wonderland-like mushroom called pambazo (in France <i>c'est un cèpe</i>) dressed with the best olive oil you can get and sprinkled with chopped hazelnuts. Her <span style="font-style: italic;">pièce de résistance</span> however was the<span style="font-style: italic;"> <b>galette de hongos silvestres</b></span>. An impressive rectangular pie of flaky, buttery crust reveals a payload of sautéed fungi. It tastes like butter, Julia Child-like in quantity, goes into this rich savory. Her recipe follows.</div>

My contribution was the aforementioned <b>chicken with morels</b>. Yes, I’ve been to <b>Moissonier</b> myself and if I must say so, my version of this Lyonnais classic did indeed hit all the marks.

This is a vegetarian variation on the typical Mexican tinga, which usually calls for shredded chicken or beef, in a smoky, tomato-chipotle sauce. The oyster mushrooms, sliced into strips, are firm and hearty -- you really don't miss the meat. Using fresh tomatoes makes a difference. I haven't tried this dish using canned, but the idea here is to create something soft and bright, not acidic.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: medium none; padding: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: medium none; padding: 0cm;">
3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as safflower<br />
1/2 medium onion, diced<br />
1 large garlic clove, minced<br />
1 lb or about 500g ripe tomatoes, chopped<br />
1 lb or about 500g <i>setas</i> (oyster mushrooms), sliced into strips</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: medium none; padding: 0cm;">
2 canned chipotles in adobo, or to taste, chopped<br />
Salt to taste<br />
<br />
Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add onion and garlic and stir quickly. (Lower the flame if garlic starts to burn.) Cook until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes. Cover and cook until the tomatoes start to break down and soften, about another 5 minutes. Stir occasionally so the tomatoes don't stick to the pan.<br />
<br />
When the tomatoes are sufficiently soft, stir in mushrooms, making sure they're mixed as much as possible with the juicy tomatoey bits. Lower the flame to medium, cover and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and no longer rubbery.<br />
Remove from flame and stir in chipotle to taste, and then salt.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
In a food processor, add all the ingredients except the water. ‘Pulse’ various times until you see balls of dough the size of a pea. Add the ice water little by little until it forms a large ball.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: bold;">
Prepare the mushroom filling:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a large frying pan at medium heat put a tablespoon of butter and 1 of oil. When hot, add the pancetta and sauté until golden. Add the scallions and shallot and when they turn transparent, add the garlic. Stir and fry for a minute or two. Empty into a bowl and return the pan to the flame, raising the heat, and, if necessary, adding more oil and butter. Sauté the mushrooms, little by little, being careful not to put too much into the pan at a time, or they will steam instead of fry. Once wilted, combine the mushrooms with the scallion mixture. Return contents to the pan, and add the herbs and beer. Cook until liquid evaporates. Set aside to cool. </div>

This dish is from the Rhône area of France, i.e. Lyon. Traditionally it is made with <i>vin jaune</i>, or ‘yellow wine’ which comes from Jura. But even if you could find this wine outside France it would be beyond your budget and mine. Just use any nice dry wine; dry vermouth works well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
250 gm (1/2 lb.) fresh morels (<i>morillas </i>in Mexico), rinsed and quickly dried – a salad spinner works great for this</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 large chicken, cut into serving size pieces, breast in 4, leg and thigh separated. Reserve the back for another use</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 cup dry white wine </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 cup (200 gm) crème fraiche (crème fraiche is less sour than our Mexican ‘crema’ or American sour cream –if you can’t find it, substitute half crema or sour cream and half whipping cream)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4 tablespoons butter</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 large or 2 small shallots, 2 tablespoons finely chopped</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed into 2 tablespoons cold water</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Salt and pepper</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: bold;">
Directions:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- In a heavy casserole over medium heat, melt half the butter and brown the chicken, a few pieces at a time, on all sides ; set aside.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-Add the morels to the same casserole. Cook at high heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring to prevent burning, until tender. Remove to a bowl.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-Add the wine, de-glazing the bottom by scraping with a wooden spoon and bring to light boil until the alcohol burns off, 2-3 minutes. Return chicken to casserole with ½ cup water. Lower heat and simmer, covered, turning the chicken from time to time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-After 30 minutes, remove a breast piece and cut into it: if it is done (i.e. white to the core), remove the breasts and leave the thighs and legs to cook 10 minutes more. Once more, remove chicken to a ceramic bowl and cover to keep warm. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-Add cream and mushrooms to the pot, stirring with a wire whisk or a fork, bringing to a slow bubbly simmer. If the sauce is very thin, you may want to thicken it at this point with cornstarch. Raise the heat; make sure the cornstarch is completely dissolved in the water; whisk it into the sauce, stirring until the sauce starts to thicken and continue to whisk at medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes. Add the chicken, simmering until it is re-heated through. Taste, adjusting salt and pepper. Serve over wide buttered pasta such as tagliatelle or egg noodles.</div>

Chowzter’s Mexico City representative, I was charged with delivering the
trophy, which was gratefully accepted by members of the Santiago family. After
being fed everything on the menu, which includes several manifestations of
their eponymous main dish, from tender 'lomo' to crispy refried bits, I was led on a
“backstage tour”, apparently a privilege rarely granted and never before to a
member of the press: even a Televisa crew was refused entry. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-align: center;">Santiago's premises are gargantuan; everything, from tortillas to salsas are made in-house by dozens of busy cooks. Ten to fifteen healthy, locally raised sheep are sacrificed, Abraham-like, daily. They are hung to dry, then roasted between layers of maguey leaves. Their earthen pit wood-fueled ovens are located in Dante-esque smoke-blackened oven rooms. This traditional method of cooking, similar to the 'pib' of the Mayan Yucatán, is little changed since pre-hispanic times.</span></div>

Back in the 20<sup>th</sup> century, there was a genre of
restaurant that served something called “continental cuisine.” The continent referred to was most likely
Europe, although the trip across the Atlantic might, like the RMS Lusitania's, have been aborted. It was
basically an Americanized (over) simplification of classic French cooking, featuring invented dishes like Salisbury steak anathema to any European cook. It's now, happily, gone
the way of bellbottoms and 8-track tapes.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The concept of borrowing and combining from multiple culinary
traditions is relatively new, a product of 21<span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span> century
globalization. A little lemongrass perfumes the bouillabaisse, wasabi spikes
the snapper. But a chef needs to master a cuisine before he can successfully
tinker with it. A culinary genius like David Chang (of N.Y.'s Momofuku)
knows what he’s doing when he messes with tradition. Most ordinary mortals need
to stay closer to home. Ella Fitzgerald knew the melody and the words; THEN she
improvised.<o:p></o:p></div>

That’s why the new spate of venues opening their multi-culti
doors in our capital has been a hit and miss affair. Many Mexican chefs are
going abroad to study and bringing back Big Ideas. Perhaps the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">aduana </i>should be more vigilant and do
some confiscating at the border.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
In the case of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Montagü</b>,
a pretty “bar de vinos” on Parque Lincoln in Polanco, the Concept doesn’t quite
gel. The capable chef offers a sprawling assortment of dishes from French, Spanish,
Mexican and American lexicons. Though a fearless fusionist, he’s at his best as
a modern interpreter of Mexican cuisine. The wine list is carefully chosen and
prices accessible. And the pretty view puts Montegü on the list for a quick
lunch or happy hour. But stick to this continent's fare. <o:p></o:p></div>

In La Roma, the talk of the town is <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Zapote</b>, the latest see-and-be-seen spot to open its large glass
doors. The mod, wood-filled space is beautiful, so is the menu, which features
the local and organic. But once again, dishes that invoke Around the World in
80 Days, with a long stopover in Italy, just don’t cut the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">moutarde</i>. Food can be lackluster. <o:p></o:p></div>

Connecticut-born and Culinary Institute trained, with an impressive résumé that
includes N.Y.’s Daniel and several years in Florence, has brought considerable
skill to his kitchen. The wisely collated menu is eclectic, featuring a number of Mexican, American
and Italian dishes (the chef is Italian/American, working in Mexico after all).

The largest section is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">para

Greatest Hits come mac & cheese--an upscale version that will nevertheless
comfort the nostalgic. There’s also clam chowder, Cesar salad and, for the
Canadians, a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">poutine</i> featuring <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">foie gras</i> that vastly improves on the
original. Best are satisfyingly rich Italian <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">primi</i>: an earthy<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> cavatelli</i>
with pesto and a ‘touch of Tabasco’ to remind you you’re home, lovingly fried
squash blossoms, tempura style, crisp and faintly aromatic. And the star of the show--<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">raviolo della nonna</i>, a single filled little
hill of pasta. "Whose <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">nonna</i> could have
produced this?" I wondered as I took a bite of the chewy fresh pasta that
conceals a payload of milky home-made ricotta. The whole thing is bathed in
what the menu describes as “Sunday gravy”, a slow-cooked meaty <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ragù</i> that makes Monday a letdown. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Brooklyn sandwich) I’ve ever had--and I know from corned beef. The beef is
‘corned’ by the chef himself, and the rye bread baked by the co-chef, experienced
L.A. native Mayra Victoria, who also takes care of pastries and desserts. Meat
is generously heaped on and will not let down those used to Carnegie Deli style
excess, although elements are infinitely more balanced than they would be there. Mazel

When I think about what I miss of my former life in the
Big Apple, it's family, friends, and good Asian food. I always head straight to Jing Fong (20 Elizabeth St. in N.Y.'s Chinatown) every time I visit. Then I ride the 7 train out to Flushing which is every bit as good as going to Hong Kong itself. Back in el D.F. I make do, but things are getting better. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
To make
authentic foreign food, you need authentic foreigners, and Mexico City, unlike
other great world metropoli, is not culturally diverse, at least not for its size – almost
everyone here is Mexican. There are no true neighborhoods where a foreign community lives, Condesa aside. Sure there are small Korean clans, Argentines galore, Cubans, Lebanese, a few of everybody. But a cultural melting pot we're not. Eating 'world cuisine' here is a recent phenomenon. So if, like me, you’ve slogged through gloppy, celery
and corn-starch laden meals in our so-called ‘Chinatown’, eaten pseudo-Thai food that tasted like
mole, wierd cheesy sushi or paid through the nose for tony Indochine in Polanco, you’ll be
happy to know that there is indeed good, genuine Asian food in this city—you just have
to know where to find it. <o:p></o:p><br />

Dim sum, Wikipedia informs us, "refers to a style of Cantonese food prepared as small bite-sized or individual portions traditionally
served in small steamer baskets or on small plates. Dim sum is also well known
for the unique way it is served in some restaurants, whereby fully cooked and
ready-to-serve dim sum dishes are carted around the restaurant for customers to
choose their orders while seated at their tables. Eating dim sum at a restaurant is usually known in Cantonese
as going to "drink tea" (yum cha, <span lang="ES" style="font-family: 'MS 明朝';">飲茶</span>),
as tea is typically served with dim sum."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Until recently, finding dim sum in Mexico was about as easy a locating a good pozole in Guangzhou. But there's good news for Asia-philes. </div>

Jing Teng, a Chinese-for-Chinese restaurant has opened its doors. And there are at least 15 kinds of dim sum offered every day, from around 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nary a westerner is seen in this simple 'locale'. In fact, only one employee (and none of the diners) I queried even spoke a word of Spanish. Information, and a menu were hard to procure. But the bamboo steamers are laid out so all you have to do is point. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You'll find such steamed favorites as <i>siu mai</i> (open dumplings stuffed with pork) <i>ha gow</i> (shrimp dumplings) and various <i>bao</i> (those poofy white spongy buns - the ginger pork was particularly flavorful). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lovers of innards will enjoy tripe steamed with black bean - <i>ngau bak yip -</i> and chicken feet done several ways. <i>Nor mai mai </i>– glutinous rice “tamales”--are satisfying if a bit bland. From the baked/fried table the custard tarts and little empanadas stuffed with sweet bean paste stand out. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The regular menu, which is in Spanish, (if you can get the waiter to bring you one--our attempt to say 'menu' with hand gestures only caused a bit of confusion) lists many tempting casseroles, soups, noodle dishes and green vegetable to augment the feast. Prices are reasonable: most dim sum plates are 30 pesos, a few 40 or 50. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

vanishing like a gastronomic Brigadoon. They’re those food trucks, ubiquitous
in Los Angeles for decades, now common in New York’s hip outer
boroughs, but until recently relatively unknown in Mexico.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“A food truck, mobile kitchen, mobile
canteen, roach coach, or catering truck is a mobile venue that
transports and sells food.” explains Wikipedia. Some form of these rolling kitchens have existed in the U.S. since the 19th century. Here in Mexico City,
where automobiles were relatively expensive and space was cheap, the trucks
were not a common sight. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Puestos</i>, those<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>little homemade shacks, pushcarts and

Few Vietnamese walk amongst us in the Big Taco, and, until
now, none of their brilliant cooking, in its authentic form at least, was to be found.
The proprietor of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ñham Ñham, </b>a
spectacular red and yellow vehicle, which parks in Plaza Rio de Janeiro,
studied cooking in Viet Nam and shares her skills with fellow Chilangos. Bánh
Mì, the fusion paté sandwich, legacy of the French colonists, have been trendy
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">in North American cities for years. Now they will
give our beloved tortas a run for their money. Grilled meat, subtly aromatic
with lemongrass, mint and/or tamarind is served on a crunchy roll with fresh
vegetables. </span>Pho (pronounced “fuh”), a rice noodle soup which is the classic Viet breakfast is also available as is
an Asian salad and those delightful summer rolls, packaged in rice flour
‘tortillas’ and thankfully not fried at all. Vegetarian versions of all of the
above are on offer. The $70 tab for a sandwich may seem steep, but quality is
high – <i>vale la pena</i>.<br />

This purveyor of felafel, kebab sandwiches and other permutations
of middle eastern take-away is wildly popular, often attracting crowds. Thursdays
through Saturdays they pull up along the Sonora side of Parque México behind
the bus stand and sell until they run out, ostensibly from 8 p.m. until
midnight. Best bet is the marinated, good quality beef, grilled to tender perfection and served
in a warmed pita with salad and pour-it-yourself salsas, one picante the other
the classic yogurt-sesame familiar to aficionados of falafel. The combo, which
includes fries and a drink costs $70.<o:p></o:p></div>

Pedregal does creative <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mariscos</i> and,
quality-wise is up there with its best stationary brethren. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Barra Vieja</b>’s tostadas of ceviche, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">pulpo</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">callo de hacha</i> (scallop) are fresh as could be. And there are such
creative offerings as tacos of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">pulpo con
pesto de quelites </i>octopus dressed with a wild green sauce, and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">almejas rasuradas, </i>clams prepared in a
soy dressing and served in their own shells. On weekends they pull into the
parking lot of a restaurant and do a more than passable paella. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">This old Polanco warhorse has been in
business for decades, so they should know what they’re doing. “Reminiscent of
Mexico’s yesteryear”, their menu proudly proclaims in English although somehow
I doubt that anywhere in Mexico’s past existed a burger house. They do try hard
to please. There are 43 different combinations of burgers on the menu including
such odd offerings as The Hula Burger Hawaiana (pineapple), The Russian Burger
(Russian dressing) and the mysteriously named ‘Bonnie & Clyde’ (filled with paté and olives
sautéed in butter). The fries are flavorful and a myriad of
condiments are set before you, as is a copious salad bar which is included in
the price of lunch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">This is the capital’s only US style
diner – or better said, a contrived approximation of one. It is many expat’s
first choice for burgers, which are offered in myriad variations; they also do
good milkshakes. Evenings it becomes a bar/hang-out and in the “wee small hours,”
a post-disco re-fueling stop. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

During its heyday, Agustin Lara serenaded crowds at the nearby Regis’ Capri Lounge, while the</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;"> </span><i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt;">tres chic</i><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;">Hotel del Prado hosted the likes of Amalia Rodrigues and Edith Piaf - and they no doubt supped at the Lincoln. </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;">First run movies premiered at the massive Cine Alameda or the Palacio Chino, while those of a few months before continued their runs at the Odeon across the street.

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;">Less than a year after that horrific</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;"> </span><i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt;">terremoto, </i><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;">I arrived to this once bustling center of cultural life on a Saturday evening. </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;">A disquieting pall had befallen the Alameda. I saw the Prado, crushed upon itself, as if King Kong had stepped right on it's middle. The flattened Regis had already been swept away. Rubble spilled from sidewalks onto the streets. After 11 p.m. the whole area was deserted.</span></div>

New hotels, offices and apartment buildings have sprung up, and the 'ole Lincoln, God bless it, has managed to hang on. It continues to provide old-time</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;"> </span><i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt;">comidas</i><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;">to lawyers and politicos. The décor remains colonial Illinois, '40's updated in the '70's: sepia line-drawing murals, a la Ludwig Bemelmans adorn the walls with nostalgic scenes of life from Mexico, Argentina and the American mid-west. A shiny baby grand rests patiently by the empty carpeted bar for boleros to be plucked out on it.</span></div>

He, going the anglo-retro route, chooses</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;"> </span><i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt;">pechuga Cordon Bleu</i><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;">, a dish ubiquitous in 1947 but now practically extinct, except, perhaps, in cheap mid-west diners. The pounded chicken is plain, but crispy and melty-cheesy, as it should be. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;">I opt for euro-mex and pick a daily special, <i style="line-height: 21px;">ossobucco en salsa de pasilla</i>. My hunk of bone, a refined version of the local <i>chamorro</i>, is surround by falling-apart veal in a rich, fragrant and earthy sauce. The tortillas are hand-done, yellow and chewy. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;">The kitchen produces satisfying renditions of traditional dishes, </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;">classics of bourgeoise Mexican cookery.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 15.75pt;">On a crisp, cool evening in London recently ‘The World’s Seven Tastiest Fast
Feasts Awards’ were revealed at a gala event. <a href="http://www.chowzter.com/" target="_blank">Chowzter</a>, a web site and app
dedicated to promoting ‘traditional fast food’ was the proud sponsor. The
occasion was held as a provocative flipside to the glitzy World’s 50 Best
Restaurants ceremony being held the next night, to highlight ‘low-end’ culinary
treasures. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 15.75pt;">Leading global food bloggers, top chefs and food connoisseurs gathered for the
first-ever awards ceremony at a trendy London club, the Village Underground.
British comedian Alexander Armstrong buoyantly hosted the casual awards gala
celebrating the tastiest dishes in seven categories: sandwich, sausage, pizza,
curry, burger, fried chicken and taco. Chowzter’s rankings were based on
the nominations of a team of more than fifty street food experts from around
the world.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.75pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;"><i><b>English pizza wins over Italian!</b></i><br />
A local English pizza, the</span><span style="color: red; font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">margherita <span style="color: #444444;">from Story Deli, won first prize as ‘world’s tastiest
fast feast’, provoking many Italians in attendance.<br />
“Nobody can beat the Italians for making amazing pizzas that build on, and
respect, centuries of tradition,” Chowzter founder Jeffrey Merrihue said in an
interview. “But Story has taken that tradition and turned it on its head,
creating a pizza that combines great flavors with an unusual texture.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

And out of five nominations for best taco in the world (three of them
non-Mexican!) the prize went to <b>Barbacoa Santiago</b> in Querétaro. The tacos at Santiago
are beyond legendary with folks who make the pilgrimage just for the
experience. Wrapped in maguey leaves and pit-cooked overnight over wood, the
fragrant meat is served on freshly made corn tortillas augmented with
hand-ground roast chile salsa that would bring a tear to the eye of the most
hardened <i>charro.<br />

accepted by Good Food in Mexico City’s own Nicholas Gilman, who flew in for the
occasion to represent his adopted country. And when the trophy arrives a
ceremony will be held and the deserving winners will be lauded. ¡Que Viva
México! </span></span></div>

The space, airy and sunny during the day, warm and cozy at night, has been smartly and discreetly given new life. Windows and rooms, once blocked up, were opened, those lovely old tile floors, until not so long ago routinely torn out by tasteless renovators, have been replaced. Simple but comfortable wooden bistro chairs and tables are given room to breathe, both inside and out on the street. Adornment is minimal. Ambient music is mercifully turned low. It’s a space you’re happy to spend some time in. The kitchen is open to view—and the food coming out of that kitchen is worthy of hyperbole.</div>

He has brought all of his gastronomic skills to his own place, along with his wife, the affable Gabriela. The only thing they left behind is pretension. The restaurant’s publicity claims that ‘materia prima’ is local and organic, if possible. The chef visits our spectacular markets daily, choosing what looks best,<br />
then adroitly improvising a new menu each day.<br />

The dishes are French and Italian in theory, Spanish in their simple elaboration, all with soulful respect for Mexican tradition. Food looks like food, not art.</div>

A simple, light cream of fresh pea, green as a Provençal field in spring, is perfumed with a refined essence of celery. The color and fragrance would have pleased Mme. Chanel. <i>Esparragos y holandesa</i> are not toyed with, just done correctly. They looked like the end result of an episode of The French Chef.</div>

Another example: perfectly grilled octopus, tender as a baby’s thigh (must be) is complimented by a drizzle of ‘guajillo emulsion’. A couple of days later this combination had morphed into a brick-red creamy reduced chili sauce and a generous puddle of sautéed huitlacoche – essentially Mexican.</div>

The tuna arrived seared on the top and sushi-pink in the middle, cloaked in a robe of red Mediterranean <i>peperonata</i>. Likewise, ‘filete de cerdo’ is left blushing and juicy in the center, as pork should be unless you’re doing <i>carnitas</i>. Smart.</div>

Desserts are safely relegated to such Parisian bistro classics as a crackly <i>crème bruleé</i> or a rich <i>pot de crème de chocolate</i>.

landscaped garden. It offers Spanish
classics well done: <i>croquetas</i> those
perfect little béchamel balls, are crunchy out/creamy in and served with
pleasantly mild <i>ali-oli. </i>We’ve never
seen, in Mexico, the little skewered <i>gildas</i>,
named after Rita Hayworth’s character in the eponymous film.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Costillas, little morsels of pork rib are falling-apart tender and lightly
sweetened with balsamic.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And <i>callo con romesco
y velo de azafrán</i> is a minimally cooked scallop that sits proudly on a
dollop of smoky/tangy hazelnut-thickened sauce from Catalonia and is worth the
trip to this un-loved part of town. <o:p></o:p></div>

Pedro Martín, the Canarian chef once of Tezka and other
high-falutin’ D.F. venues has opened an unpretentiously cool bar at the end of
Alvaro Obregón with a few tables in and out (which are these days quite difficult
to procure). The menu is all tapas, simple-to-complex little dishes, reasonably priced meant to be
shared and accompanied by wine from the wallet-friendly list. Service,
however, tends to range from perfunctory to downright rude, a rarity in this
town of smiling hospitality.<b><o:p></o:p></b></div>

A new venue for interesting ‘Alta Cocina Mexicana’ offers two tasting menus based on local artisanal and seasonal products. Dishes can be shared or one can take advantage of the tasting menu. The eight course mega is a bit too much even for this glutton – go for the six.</div>

European-style bistro in the once opulent <a href="http://zesterdaily.com/cooking/mexico-city-old-colonia-roma-emerges-as-dining-hot-spot/"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Colonia Roma</span></a> neighborhood,
which is in the midst of a redevelopment boom. Cool and chic Máximo replaces a
dowdy medical supply store; once a trash-strewn corner with little foot traffic
is now a well-known gastronomic destination. You can find the
best brandade de morue this side of the Seine here. Or a
classic ceviche. While Mexico-born chef and owner Eduardo García likes rustic French cooking,
his feet are firmly planted on native ground, and he often includes typical
Mexican ingredients such as chilies, hot and mild; cuitlacoche, the rich
corn fungus known as “Mexican truffle”; or country herbs like epazote in his
dishes.</div>

The chef formerly worked under Enrique Olvera of Pujol, the
esteemed local palace of experimental gastronomy, and also toiled in
Manhattan’s star-strewn Le Bernardín where seafood reigns.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
García represents the new generation of Mexican cooks who,
while well aware of what’s going on in Spain, California and New York, have
come back home, incorporating these ideas into their native cuisine.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Eduardo García puts ‘local’ in Máximo Bistrot Local</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The chef has brought expert gastronomic skills to his own
place, opened on a shoestring and run with his wife, the affable Gabriela, who
acts as host. <a href="http://maximobistrot.com.mx/maximo/"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Máximo
Bistrot Local’s</span></a> publicity claims thatmateria prima is
local and organic, if possible. The chef visits the city’s spectacular markets
daily, choosing what looks best, then adroitly improvising a new menu each day.
The food coming out of his kitchen is worthy of hyperbole.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>How is what you cook related to classic Mexican cuisine?</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our menu is based not only on Mexican cuisine, but also on
local ingredients — hence the name “bistro local.” But I like to include a few
“authentic” dishes. The relationship between my cuisine and Mexican cooking is
all about ingredients, methods and philosophy. I think my growing up in Mexico
and having trained here infuses everything I do. For example, I often take
advantage of the huge variety of chilies used in our cooking, and the
specifically Mexican ways of preparing them, such as toasting and grinding.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>And to classic European cooking?</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wouldn’t say “classic European” but French and rustic
Italian. Again, the methods are a big part of the relationship. I take what I
consider to be the best techniques from the aforementioned European traditions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>What are the advantages of running a restaurant in Mexico
City?</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the city, purveyors are more focused than in other parts
of Mexico. We’re in the middle of the country and everything is available here;
I can get seafood from either coast hours after it is caught.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
the provinces — Mexicans tend to be conventional when it
comes to food.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>What’s coming up on your menu? </i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m planning a trip to visit small restaurants in Europe to
get more inspiration for my menu. I’m more interested in experiencing local,
time-honored cooking than the avant-garde stuff.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>What is you latest ingredient obsession? </i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fresh seafood from Ensenada. There are extraordinary
ingredients there. Percebes, for example, are barnacles not well-known
outside of Spain, where they cost a fortune. Here they are accessible and I’ve
been experimenting with them: I included them in a ceviche recently.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>What is your favorite restaurant/chef in town?</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t hang out much with the “top” chefs or at fancy
restaurants. My favorite place is Fonda Las Margaritas in Colonia Del Valle [a
quiet residential neighborhood south of the center]. It’s where I like to eat
on my day off. It’s a simple old-fashioned neighborhood fonda that
does really authentic no-frills Mexican food.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>And out of town?</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Casa Oaxaca, in Oaxaca City. My friend, Chef Alejandro Ruíz,
is doing incredible things with local market foods there. I always look forward
to seeing what he’s up to.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Where do you see the restaurant scene headed here in Mexico
City?</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The culinary scene here is expanding, as are people’s
palates. I think that Mexico City is becoming one of the top destinations for
food. New restaurants as well as old established ones are using more fresh and
local products. And that’s a real good thing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>And what are your life plans?</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve been offered jobs here and abroad, book deals, even a
TV show! I’ve turned them all down. Because I just don’t have time to do
anything but cook, and make sure everything in my place is the best it can be. I’ve seen some of my contemporaries fall prey to the “star
chef” phenomena — and their restaurants suffer for this. You can’t be a star
and maintain a great kitchen unless it is established and you are able to train
younger chefs to be as good as you. I know I’m not there yet. We’re doing
amazingly well, are always full and now have sidewalk rights so a few more
tables. But it’s very hard work, six days a week, exhausting. I hope I can keep
it up.</div>

"It's not Italian" I muttered, as I nodded in assent against my better judgement, not wishing to go against the grain. We were ordering for my birthday dinner at what's just about my favorite restaurant in the world.<br />
<br />
Ajo blanco, or white gazpacho is a traditional alternative to the better known red gazpacho. It's ubiquitous in the south of Spain, Andalucia to be more precise, during the warm months. A soup cool in every way, it's as good as the sum of its ingredients, and the balancing skills of its maker. Olive oil, pulverized almonds, vinegar, garlic, perhaps a little bread are whipped into a smooth cream and served over green grapes.<br />
<br />
The warm months have arrived in Mexico City, dry dusty desert-like days will be upon us until the rains come. So, yes, a cold soup is a good idea.<br />
<br />
It arrived after squash blossom flowers which were fried so light they seemed to levitate off the plate like little cumulous clouds.<br />
<br />
The soup was textbook perfect. The balance between sweet, salty, tart and umami was 3 star Michelin.<br />
<br />
But <a href="http://goodfoodmexicocity.blogspot.mx/2010/04/nearly-perfect-rosetta.html" target="_blank">Rosetta</a> specializes in regional Italian fare, not southern Spanish. I asked the brilliant chef Elena Reygadas why, why she did it. "My Spanish grandmother made it and when the weather turns warm I get nostalgic - and there just aren't so many cold Italian soups I like." Chef Reygadas' touch is to add a little green apple and tarragon. So the soup is her own. Any Italian would approve.<br />
<br />
Go for the white gazpacho while you can. Then eat pasta.<br />

It’s Lent and time to make the big sacrifice: no meat. Many
Mexicans do indeed forego the red stuff in spite of intense carnivorous
cravings. Comida corrida joints offer vegetarian lunches, featuring cauliflower
tortas or a fish fillet. Eating seafood, it seems, is punishment for many
people here. This is a country with two abundant coasts both of which serve the
capital within hours, providing us with mountains of fresh aquatic edibles. But
Mexicans consume a tenth of the amount of fish as, say, the Japanese do. Too bad,
because they certainly know what to do with it; some of the best dishes in the
Mexican lexicon are seafood-based.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So a new trend for fish tacos, something previously rarely seen
in the capital, is nothing but a good thing. Marisco stands and fondas tend to
proffer the same menu of <i>cocteles, tostadas</i>
and fried <i>mojarras</i>. But the seemingly
obvious concept of fish prepared and heaped in a fresh, warm tortilla is harder
to find than you’d think. Common along the northwest coast, in multiple
variations, fish tacos are just starting to take off inland.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the culinarily vanguardista Colonia Roma, two new hip <i>fondas</i> vie for attention across from
each other like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford at a Hollywood gala . And a deceptively<span style="color: red;"> </span>humble locale draws word-of-mouth-informed crowds in a
quiet corner of the Condesa.<o:p></o:p></div>

Rodrigo Malvido. Trained at NY’s prestigious CIA, the chef
returns to his homeland with hi-fi skills but keeps his feet firmly planted
on native turf, quietly re-inventing standard <i>puesto</i> beach-fare. The locale is done with the nowadays requisite
pretty mosaic floors, rough wood and glass outdoor tables. The eclectic ‘50’s-‘70’s
music featuring everyone from Betty Carter to The Shirelles is so groovy you
want to stay and just hang out and listen. The chalkboard menu offers tacos, at
$20 pesos per, ordered by the piece, as well as tostadas and burritos. <i>Pescado</i> <i>estilo baja</i> is whitefish, battered, fried and served in a light
tortilla with fresh <i>pico de gallo</i> and
optional salsas to spike things up (a peanut infused sauce resembles, but is
infinitely better than, Russian dressing). This, the gold standard of fish
tacos, should be steaming, crunchy, fishy but not too, augmented but not
overwhelmed by its accompaniments. It’s indeed a winner. So is the <i>taco de pulpo al pastor:</i> succulent
octopus is dressed but not smothered in a heady, aromatic red sauce. Less
successful is a rather acrid taco of <i>carnitas
de pescado</i> – a mis-thought concept as fish doesn’t tend to lend itself to ‘confit’
style preparation; and the pork chicharrón scattered on top will send
non-meateaters into a tizzy. Nobody’s perfect. Also worth mentioning is the <i>caldo de camarón</i> served as an <i>amuese bouche</i> – it is unusually rich, a
frothy pink bisque with a pleasant chili kick. Tres Galeones is to be commended
for its bold and creative yet unpretentious approach to streetfood. <o:p></o:p></div>

Across the street, the concisely named <b>Fish Tacos & Chips</b> (Jalapa 122, open daily 11-7) is a simple décor-less
outdoor fonda with only a few tables. They do this comforting Brit/Mex classic and
do it well. The standard fish nuggets deep-fried <i>capeado,</i> i.e. in light batter, are fine if a bit dull, not unlike,
in this writer’s experience, their old-world cousins. Better are fish fillets <i>a la plancha</i> – they’re sautéed fresh
fillets served in a light wheat tortilla with roasted sweet peppers. The
‘topping bar’ includes lightly dressed cucumber chunks, almost like an Indian
raita, and a sweet-ish shredded carrot salad, as well as the requisite thinly
sliced cabbage and a few salsas. A<i> paquete</i> includes two tacos and an
<i>agua del día</i>--and at $50 pesos it’s
easy on the budget.</div>

Meanwhile, over in the Condesa, the bustling <b>El Pescadito</b>, (Atlixco 38, corner Juan
Escutia, open daily<b> </b>11-6, Saturday,
Sunday 10-6) offers similar Baja style fried fish and shrimp as well as the
tuna-like marlin, stir-fried with chili and heaped on a house made corn
tortilla. The ‘fixins’ bar here includes creamy coleslaw, a comfort food for
many, as well as several picante salsas. The malty <i>agua de cebada</i> (made from barley) goes nicely. But I’d avoid the <i>queso</i> concoctions on their menu – cheese
and fish just don’t go.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">From the menu of <i>platos fuertes </i>a standout is <i>borreguito
en pulque con ayocotes</i>. This is a stew of what might have been
euphemistically called lamb, but is, in fact the more mature and flavorful
mutton. But the meat is falling-apart tender in its brick-red sauce, made
fruity and deep by the addition of fresh pulque. Little <i>ayocotes </i>(dumplings of corn masa) add body to this down-home dish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Totol en mole de pistache </i>(young
turkey in a pistachio mole) is one of the more unusual offerings. The light
celadon-green mole perfectly complements the delicate meat, which is nicely
cradled in a <i>huarache de maiz criollo</i>
(masa base of local corn). It works on every level.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Fish is perfectly done, not overcooked, and the 'salsa verde', reminiscent of the classic Spanish garlic/parsley sauce but here with the addition of perfumey cilantro.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Desserts are all <i>muy mexicano </i>and as good as they sound: titles like<i> tarta Eréndira de chocolate de metate y
chiles secos </i>or<i> flan de la Abuelita
Celia </i>are both tempting and sweetly descriptive.<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 180%;">S</span>ince pre-conquest times, women have prepared the food in Mexico; they ground the corn, patted out tortillas, and prepared the <span style="font-style: italic;">guisos</span>, or cooked dishes. They were the ones who incorporated the new ingredients and techniques brought by the Spaniards. As few Spanish women came to the new world in the early years, indigenous women and sometimes African slaves were employed in the conquistador’s kitchens. Known as 'mayoras', they ruled the larders of the large haciendas and worked to develop a true <span style="font-style: italic;">mestizo</span> cuisine.<br />
<div>
Knowledge of their recipes and techniques was passed down from generation to generation until our era. Not until the last decades of the 20th century did young women have options other than to be housekeepers and cooks. Even in recent years a woman’s occupation was often written on official forms as “labores propias de su sexo” or “work appropriate to her sex.”<br />
<br />
As women’s lives changed, the store of culinary knowledge began to be lost. Information long kept private and not shared outside of the family was no longer valued by those destined to inherit it. It seems that all the best recipes come from somebody’s grandmother, but getting someone to part with these carefully guarded secrets is another matter. Often only after years of friendship, will a cook “spill the beans” so to speak. Diana Kennedy, who traveled the countryside in search of material for her books reports that getting people to divulge their secrets was her hardest job.<br />

Today few culinary institutes in Mexico teach techniques of classical Mexican cooking. Since the 1980’s, however, many women chefs, notably, Alicia Gironella de Angeli, Patricia Quintana, Monica Patiño, Martha Ortiz Chapa and Carmen 'Titita' <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 15.972221374511719px; line-height: 20.833332061767578px;">Degollado</span>, have opened their own restaurants to international acclaim, with the aim of promoting both traditional and innovative Mexican cuisine. Before them came women who promoted the culture of Mexican cooking, including cookbook authors Lula Bertrán, María Orsini, María Dolores Yzabal, and researchers Janet Long and Lila Lomelí. Most of their work sought to improve restaurant standards, promote Mexican food outside the country, organize food festivals, write books, and collect regional recipes. They in turn followed earlier generations of women, among them, Josefina Velázquez de León and Adela Hernández, who at the beginning of the 20th century gathered recipes and wrote cookbooks. Even artists and arbiters of culture like Frida Kahlo, Olga Costa and Lupe Mariín who celebrated all things Mexican included the culture of food in their work.<br />
<br />
Outside Mexico, it was also principally women who spread the word: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Diana Kennedy, Josefina Howard, Zarela Martinez, Gabriela Cámara, Josefina Santicruz</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Thomasina Miers </span>are some of the most notable. Recently, collected knowledge from home and abroad has begun to be taught in a few culinary institutes in Mexico, notably at the Centro Culinario Ambrosia. While we must recognize the accomplishments of male chefs and scholars, such as <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rick Bayless</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ricardo Muñoz, Salvador Novo</span> and <b>Jose Iturriaga</b>, in no other world cuisine have women been so recognized and celebrated for their important contributions.<br />

Tamales are traditionally eaten around Candelaria (February 2) to celebrate the beginning of the planting season and the coming of spring. Coyoacán's Museo de Artes Populares presents, as it has done for the last 21 years, an extraordinary 'feria de tamales' with vendors from all over Mexico and beyond offering their regional variations of corn husk or banana leaf stuffed morsels. Be sure to visit the cornfest and arrive with an empty stomach. The festival goes until Sunday, February 3rd.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Best Ice Cream: <b>Helados Palmeiro</b>. Eugenio Palmeiro's<a href="http://lesleytellez.wordpress.com/2011/03/18/cuban-ice-cream-mexican-charm-at-mercado-medellin/"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"> ice

an Habanero, made according to his memories of that iconic Havana institution,
Heladeria Coppelia. He also offers malteadas made with real malt just as they
should be.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

hole in the wall, <b><a href="http://goodfoodmexicocity.blogspot.mx/2009/09/holy-mole-mexican-national-dish.html" target="_blank">Fonda Mi Lupita</a></b>. Their rich, lightly sweet chocolaty concoction
is divine. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Best bakery – <b><a href="http://www.dasilva.com.mx/" target="_blank">Panadería Da Silva</a></b>, who has a couple of new locations,
including the easily accessible mezzanine store in the Downtown Hotel brings
great Portuguese breads and pastries to our previously deficient city. His
<i>pasteis de nata</i> are unparalleled, better than those famous ones in old Lisboa. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Best bread:<b><a href="http://www.bopastisseria.com/" target="_blank"> Pastelería Bó</a></b>, with a couple of Condesa
loacations does the best baguette in town. The French Lady says so. And their
tarts are good too.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Best arrachera - <b><a href="http://goodfoodmexicocity.blogspot.fr/2012/05/carnivorous-cravings-wheres-beef.html" target="_blank">El Hornero</a></b> in the Roma, is according to the

Best tacos al pastor – <b><a href="http://goodfoodmexicocity.blogspot.mx/2012/09/tacos-al-pastor-quintessentially.html" target="_blank">El Huequito</a></b> is still it. But only the
original, on Ayunatmiento.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Best Asian – <a href="http://goodfoodmexicocity.blogspot.mx/2008/10/east-meets-west-asian-food-in-el-df.html" target="_blank"><b>Benkay</b></a> in the Nikko hotel no longer offers that
tempting buffet but they serve up fine Nipponese fare in their pretty new space
and it’s like a trip to Tokyo. The seasonal bento, at $325 is a good deal too. Runner
up: Mojing, in the centro does Chinese for Chinese very, very well. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Best old time market – The <b><a href="http://mexicocitydf.blogspot.mx/2011/08/mexico-citys-best-market-el-mercado.html" target="_blank">Mercado Jamaica</a> </b>is classic,
there’s good food to eat, decent quality fruits and vegetables, the aisles are
wide making for easy access and they have around the clock flower market.
What’s not to like?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Best new time market – The recently disappeared <b><a href="http://goodfoodmexicocity.blogspot.mx/2012/03/pardon-my-french-el-mercadito-frances.html" target="_blank">French Market</a></b> inside the late (and not lamented, by this author, anyway, Le Bouchon)

Stands line the east side of the market (on calle Campeche) and besides offering real Christmas trees, an apparent D.F. tradition, feature decorations of all kinds, from baby Jesus's most likely made in China to handmade decorations that conjure a warm Yuletide carol. The mood is pure gaiety as normally homebound families emerge into the increasingly frosty eve to shop and - best of all - eat.<br />
The <i>comedores </i>open around 6pm and remain in service until midnight. Jolly diners fill long picnic tables set up in the street while purveyors hawk their goods luring new customers in. They offer a large variety of <i>antojitos</i> from rich red pozole with all the trimmings to enchiladas to sopes. Try a tostada of bacalao a la Veracruzana, the beloved end-of-year dried cod stew. Or a <i>sope</i> of romeritos, a green vegetable done in a mole-like sauce with dried shrimp. Tamales waft their tantalizing steam while giant pambazos, those salsa-slathered torta bombs sizzle away. There is warm fruit-filled punch to wash it all down and flan or <i>buñuelos</i> - giant rounds of crispy fried bread - with honey for dessert. This is a don't-miss neighborhood Navidad tradition in the city. The <b>Mercado Medellín</b> is located between Monterrey and Medellín, Coahuila and Campeche in the Colonia Roma. If you arrive by Metrobus, get off at Campeche and walk east. Nearest metro stop is Chilpancingo. The market will be open seven days a week until midnight through December 23rd.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve never been a fan of the new-fangled; I resisted CDs,
cell phones, even computers, for years. And that goes for food as well. I’ve
been cynically sampling ‘upscale’ Mexican cuisine for decades, ever since I
hung at <b>El Olivo</b>, Roberto Santibanez’
long defunct hipster spot of the ‘80’s (where, no doubt, more was snorted in
the WC than consumed at table) and the long-running<b> La
Tecla</b> started experimenting with such dubious nouvelle dishes as pasta with
mole and deconstructed chiles en nogada. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then a few Polanco chefs (you know who I mean) came along
and did away with tradition altogether, going for global gastro-trends. <i>Flor de
calabaza</i> became a foam. Unspeakble things appeared in sorbets and sauces. That’s
why I celebrate what appears to be a new trend: a tweaked return to basics, or
‘grandma with a twist'. Pretention is exchanged for simple updating of the
tried and true. New places at every step of the scale, are opening offering
good Mexican food to 21<sup>st</sup> century diners used to clean preparation
and pretty presentation. Cases in point at either end of the fancy spectrum: <a href="http://goodfoodmexicocity.blogspot.mx/2012/10/beggars-opera-limosneros-hands-out-fine.html" target="_blank">Limosneros</a> and <a href="http://goodfoodmexicocity.blogspot.mx/2012/08/luck-of-irish-fonda-kelly.html" target="_blank">Fonda Kelly</a>, which I
recently lauded. <o:p></o:p></div>

TVs and all – until one realizes that those ordinarily intrusive boob tubes
show photos of works of art instead of Televisa toons. Ambience is likewise
downplayed in a hip Paris bistro sort of way – umbrella-topped tables spill out
onto the street and jazz softly plays.<o:p></o:p></div>

and spiky sauces, are wrapped in house-made tortillas.</div>

The fried shrimp taco is also a good choice, the fresh crispy
sea creature served with greens—a crunch-fest. Another fine oceanic option is
the ceviche, lightly marinated chunks of scallop and fish served with warm
tostadas. Parnita’s variation on the Jalisco classic <i>torta ahogada</i> (drowned torta) is the best we’ve sampled in the
city, a perfect balance of soft/crunchy texture and umami laden filling – with
a perfect whallop of chili. Parnita is a friendly place and prices are friendly as well – lunch will
run 100-150 pesos, if you behave yourself. <o:p></o:p></div>

Leave your car with valet parking and stroll about in <i>Polanquito,</i> the lively heart of Polanco,
Mexico City’s 'East side' neighborhood—it’s a delightful part of town. There are
a lot of swanky options for dining, but I often head to <b>Dulcinea, </b>a simple café whose tables spill out invitingly onto the
sidewalk.<b> </b>The crowd is a genial mix
of young ‘ladies-who-lunch’, business types and foreign residents. And the food is
carefully prepared and presented with flair.<o:p></o:p></div>

Her simple <i>sopa de
tortilla</i>, for example, contains the usual garnishes of fried tortilla
strips, roast chilies and avocado, but all served dry—the brick-red broth is poured
at table over the garnishes, French bistro style. The <i>crema de cilantro</i>, pretty as a Seurat landscape, is lightly perfumed
with avocado leaves. <o:p></o:p></div>

Several <i>antojitos</i>
are offered. <i>Sopes de arrachera</i> is
the most traditional – corn masa shells, fresh and crisp/tender, the meat
buttery. <i>Tiradito de pulpo</i> blends thin
slices of buttery octopus with a chili/tomato glaze, served over a puree of celery
with a whisper of ginger. It’s both light and hardy—a winner. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
A notable main dish is the <i>arrachera</i>, offered with <i>mole
de jamaica</i>, a light, sweet-sour sauce. <i>Pollito

Dulcinea also serves breakfast. ‘The French Lady’
breaks her fast regularly here, and highly recommends the <i>chilaquiles divorciados</i>—with two competing sauces, red and green, as well as pancakes, better than Jemima ever made.<o:p></o:p></div>

Dulcinea’s prices reflect its surroundings (it’s right
around the corner from the Café Snob - I'm not making this up)– you’ll spend at least $250 pesos
per person for a light lunch, without drinks. But the quality is good—you’ll
get what you pay for and leave happy. <o:p></o:p></div>

spot is astounding. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was quite by accident that we noticed the latest venue
for chic Mexi-dining. A very old building, which for years sat waiting to be
restored to its colonial splendor, has at last been reincarnated as <b>Limosneros</b>,
the newest entry in the centro’s list of top-notch restaurants.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The story goes that the building was home to the local artisan’s
guild, whose members collected funds (<i>limosnas</i>
i.e. “donations”) to build various public buildings. Fast-forward to the 21<sup>st</sup>
century, whose post-modern style is in evidence here. Juan Pablo Ballesteros, son
of the family that owns the venerable Café Tacuba just around the corner, took it
upon himself to acquire and restore this two-story Spanish colonial edifice, exposing
volcanic stone walls, brick ceilings and <i>cantera</i>
doorways. The effect is tradition gone mod. Tones of black, brown and beige abound.
Some wood gives warmth. Lighting is low. Music is patron-friendly - that is, it stays in the background where it
belongs. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiVd_lkTkWG0Nm5KiOj-jwFMH73bgc5tsS4KAwRcoBJmzcbBDJ2THc4UDoe2nY1n1p11cgfqTUYUwzsYw_PZ4GlHq2r6HWDhkp2E0pv7j7zL0kgwsKj4j2Gu32fBuXgQXFG9zgmDWCaK8/s1600/IMG_1074.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="289" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiVd_lkTkWG0Nm5KiOj-jwFMH73bgc5tsS4KAwRcoBJmzcbBDJ2THc4UDoe2nY1n1p11cgfqTUYUwzsYw_PZ4GlHq2r6HWDhkp2E0pv7j7zL0kgwsKj4j2Gu32fBuXgQXFG9zgmDWCaK8/s320/IMG_1074.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But the best news of all is that the kitchen puts out some
of the most refined Mexican food in the city. An intriguing menu has been
designed by gastronomic scholar José Luís Curiel and chef Lula Martín del Campo.
It updates classics in a hip, modern but unpretentious way. Unlike at other
high-falutin´<i>alta cocina </i>Polanco palaces,
this food aims to please without ostentation or dubious re-invention.
Presentation is pretty, almost Japanese. But recipes generally stick to the
contents of grandma’s larder or gently introduce a new but familiar
element--always straight from the market, not from the lab. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the <i>antojitos </i>offered
as <i>entradas,</i> and could make a meal of
them. <i>Flautas de flor de Jamaica</i> are golden
crunchy tortillas, stuffed with a sweet-sour mix of fragrant purple hibiscus
flowers and topped with cream. Elegantly served on a slab of dark grey slate,
this dish is illustrative of the attention paid to detail, respect given to marketplace
comfort food; not a cliché is in evidence. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Likewise, the <i>tamal de
camarón crocante </i>is another twist on the ordinary, a corn<i> tamal</i> served in a banana leaf, crowned
by a quick/deep-fried shrimp, which is to be devoured head, shell and all—a
smart texture-fest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</tbody></table>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A little <i>cazuela de cuitlacoche</i>
presents this oh-so-delicate black corn mushroom, lightly sauteed and gratinéed,
to be eaten on mini white wheat tortillas that have been pre-shmeered with a
spikey ‘chipotle varnish’. It’s a perfectly balanced yin/yang experience and goes
to show what a cunning Mexican kitchen can do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A comforting <i>sopa de
quelites</i> is, as the delighted Miss L exclaimed, “Mexican matzoh ball soup.”
The wild greens swim in a sea of rich chicken stock, the matzoh-like corn<i> masa</i> balls bobbing about like beach balls in a Frankie Avalon picture. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even better is a refined <i>sopa
de tortilla</i>, one of the best I’ve sampled. An old-style recipe is barely
tampered with: the brick-red broth is enriched with two kinds of chilies and topped
with the usual assortment of avocado, chicharrón and fresh cheese. Deep.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

</tbody></table>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The main dish menu is divided into meat and fish; the
kitchen excels at the former. A standout is <i>filete
al limón, </i>a buttery-tender cut of beef swathed in a subtle, quiet, red chili
sauce perfumed with lime. The sauce doesn’t over-whelm, as a good French sauce
wouldn’t. It’s Aztec-Gallic fusion at its best.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Costillas en salsa de
morita y mezcal</i> are falling-apart tender, and recall those crowd-pleasing
red ribs that old-style Chinese restaurants used to offer. But a more complex
smoky aroma from the mezcal marinade reminds you that this is Mexico not
Chinatown.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Recommended for the non-carnivorous are the <i>huazontles capeados</i>, the stuffed amaranth
greens in their tomato <i>caldo</i> given pizzazz
by a fresh goat cheese. It almost goes without saying that products are local
and even organic when possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The dessert menu follows current DF trends and doesn’t stray
much; included is the ubiquitous but well realized <i>crème</i> <i>brûlée</i><i> de mamey</i> and a heady <i>volcán de chocolate</i>, a melting chocolate
dessert with a ‘blackberry <i>mole</i>’. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Featured on the drink menu are fine artisanal beers and mezcals.
Tequila, as is the current fashion, is played down and pricey as well - 90 pesos a shot
– ouch! There’s an astutely chosen wine list featuring Mexican vintners, but
prices are high; it would be nice to see a couple of purse-friendly house reds,
as none offered are under $550. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The caveat vis a vis drink prices is only to say that food is
reasonable – a meal with a drink should cost $350-500 per. Well worth it for
the quality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Small details of service add a level of delight here, e.g.
the small handmade tortillas that are served in a little embroidered pouch, the
<i>amuse-bouche</i> of <i>esquites</i> (a corn dish mostly known as a street food), or the
excellent trio of salsas that appear at the table seconds after being seated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Breakfast is served on weekends and features a divine birria, that rich goat stew and broth from Jalisco as well as a curious omelette of beef "ceviche". There are also more familiar Mexican egg dishes and a children's menu that includes house-made catsup!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Limosneros has not been open long and I have no doubt that
it will just get better. And it’s already very good – it trumps all other

Northern Spanish cooking has
been on everyone’s mind in recent years. Chefs Arzak and Adriá have become household names - well, in foodie circles, anyway. It’s amongst the world’s finest as well as simplest cuisine. Local, indigenous,
sustainable ingredients are <i>au courant </i>and that's what it's about. Why are people just discovering Spain now?
Well, during the Franco dictatorship the words Spain and gastronomy didn’t mix.
The country was closed, poor and cultural regionalism frowned upon. The local
populous barely had enough. So you didn’t go to Spain to eat.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My first trip to Iberia was
in 1984, when Spain was rapidly emerging from the dark years. I traveled
through the country for four months, eating nothing but fried meat, potatoes,
and chilled house wine. I fell in love, permanently with the artists of the ‘siglo
de oro’ (Velazquez, Ribera, Murillo), flamenco, toasted bread with olive oil on
it (perhaps the best thing I ate) and Madrid. But I didn't eat well. Another extensive trip 15
years later turned my head around, gastronomy-wise. What had changed, it
or me? A little of both. I’m much more experienced in finding what’s true and
good to eat. And with the opening up of the country, a reverse trend was set in
motion and now great pride is taken in local foods and dishes. Everywhere you
go--and Spain is a huge place—you’ll find fine cooking, dishes prepared with
pride based on local ingredients and tradition. Simple and fresh are the
keywords. So, it is only natural that here in the New World, Spanish-trained
chefs have a keen eye for what’s local, seasonal and in the market, adapting to old-world techniques and recipes. It’s no wonder Spanish cooking is currently
trendy around the world. And Mexico City’s best restaurants these days are
Iberian.<o:p></o:p></div>

Now there’s <b>Maja</b>. The word, in
Castilian slang means ‘cool’ or, more specifically ‘beautiful’ as in the ‘que
padre’ of Mexican parlance. Maja the restaurant is all of the above.<o:p></o:p></div>

Set in a restored
Porfiriano mansion, with a pretty patio, the grey-toned
post-modern décor is innocuous but it doesn't matter: the food is the
star of the show.<o:p></o:p></div>

Young chef Paulina Morel studied for
several years in San Sebastian the mecca of Basque cooking and then worked here
at the esteemed Biko. Her menu is northeastern Spanish, i.e. it encompasses the
Basque country, Catalonia, Asturias and Cantabria, with a couple of central and
southern dishes thrown in for good measure. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Start with the iconic <i>croquetas de jamón;</i> a magically thin bronzed
crust surrounds velvety, smoky ham-infused béchamel – textbook perfect. <i>Pulpo a la feira, </i>buttery grilled
octopus is a delight. And <i>patatas bravas</i>,
the paprika <i>shmeered</i> roast potatoes ubiquitous in Spain, and so often
compromised here because of our pallid Mexican papas, are crunchy and
richly flavorful.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although neither northern nor seasonal
(in Spain anyway) a gazpacho appears on the menu, and it’s not the Anglicized tomatoey version,
but the real thing: olive oil thickened with bread and livened with tomato, garlic and
sherry vinegar. As good as I’ve had in Sevilla.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The hot soup option,<i> sopa
de pescado Donostiarra </i>(or Basque fish soup) is really a reduced bisque,
redolent of the sea –a winner.<o:p></o:p></div>

From the main menu, and a true test of any Spanish chef, is
the deceptively simple fish of the day <i>en
salsa verde, </i>which contains only five ingredients<i>. </i>This green sauce is comprised of emulsified olive oil, perfumed with
sweated garlic, finely minced parsley and the juice a couple of happy clams. A
perfectly sauteed filet sits in a little puddle of it. Chef Morel proves she
learned a thing or two in the old country as here these lovely ingredients are
precisely balanced. Brava!<o:p></o:p></div>
