Episode 83
To wrap up the year I teamed up with my dear friend Mely Martínez to have a candid chat about our favourite Christmas and seasonal foods, drinks and treats.
Since it is impossible to exhaust the wide variety of regional and local dishes from all across Mexico, we tried to present an overview of how Mexicans feast during this particularly indulgent season. We hope to inspire you to get adventurous and plan a wonderful dinner.

Episode 81
When Salvador packed his camera and got off to start a journey documenting traditional drinks of Mexico, he didn’t know that his life was about to change forever. This adventure became the beginning of a transformative experience for him and the many lives he has touched.
In this candid, honest and rich conversation, we discuss his motivations, the creative and personal process behind the making of his book “Beverages of Oaxaca”, social responsibility, the challenges of being a content creator, and he shares advice for those who want to pursue a similar path.

Episode 80
This year marks the 160th anniversary of the famous 5 de Mayo battle, but curiously this date means epic Mexican-themed celebrations in the USA, but why? In this epic episode, I explore the many events that lead to the famous battle of Puebla on that eventful day of May 5th, 1862 and the fascinating aftermath that changed the nation's history.
Find out how Emperor Napoleon III, President Benito Juárez, General Ignacio Zaragoza, and Maximilian from Austria ended up entangled in a story of intrigue, treason, greed, death and glory.

Episode 79
Welcome to the season finale!
In this episode, I discuss how early printed cookbooks in Mexico were tools of cultural propaganda. Through a form of culinary patriotism, cookbooks built the gastronomic identity of a newly independent nation promoting the adoption of behaviours, tastes and manners of the whiter middle and upper classes.
In light of the aggressive exploitation of cultural expressions, contemporary discussions are contesting the dated and monolithic idea of “a Mexican gastronomy” that has erased and silenced the culinary identity and food practices of indigenous communities and ethnic minorities.

Episode 78
In this episode I discuss my guest’s new book: “The Last Emperor of Mexico: The Dramatic Story of the Habsburg Archduke Who Created a Kingdom in the New World.” This work is so much more than the story of Maximilian I, it really captures the zeitgeist of a bygone era that is fundamental in the history of Mexico with deep connections to the global geopolitical dynamics of the 19th c.
We cross examine the historical events and view under different perspectives the motives, interests and consequences of this bizarre and fascinating episode that brought together Europe’s most important political forces and the ambitions of Mexican conservatives that paved the way for the short ill lived Habsburg empire of Mexico.

The Day of the Dead celebration is a cultural pillar of Mexico’s rituals of memory, conviviality and spirituality, this episode celebrates the history behind this vibrant tradition that is one of Mexico’s most joyous cultural export.
It also offers an introduction to the Mayan ceremonies for the dead and I read a short story from Mexican anthropologist and archaeologist Eduardo Matos Moctezuma called “Yaotl in the land of the dead.

Mexican pastries or “pan dulce” have taken the world by storm with their delicious flavours and styles, but did you know that wheat was once a stranger in Mexico? This episode explores the remote origins of wheat in the Middle East and its voyage to the New World where it inspired one of the most important food industries of the colonial period.
You will hear about the hidden world of bakeries, guilds and brotherhoods that organised an invisible workforce that fed thousands of people. I will introduce you to the magical colonial bread stamps and how I brought back to life a 500-year-old bread recipe!
