I have been wondering on my roots. Even thought my ancestors came from Mexico I am Americanize in terms of my cooking. Still, i remember my mamita cooking us authentic Mexican food. The tamales and tacos every sunday, as well as the special tres leches for special occasions. The mexican way of cooking is quiet unique and yet it has evolved.
Grilling, On the Stove, Sweating and Desflemar are the ways Mexican food is prepared. The color, the taste, the smell and the traditions have stuck through the test of time. I remember when i was young my mamita used to make tamales by grinding dried corn using a molcajete, it took time to produce the tamales and we wait in anticipation. but with the modern convenience at our grasp we can buy masa in the grocery store. I am now trying to learn how to cook mexican food, it keeps me in touch with ny roots and i must admit its one of the tastiest cuisine out there.
