🍞 Have you ever had Mexican Sweet Bread?

👨🏽‍🍳 Conchas are a Mexican bread, a sweet bread (Pan Dulce) that are served at panaderías. This co**ha bread is a soft, enriched dough that has a lovely buttery and sweet flavor.💚

🥖 Sweet Bread literally translates to pan dulce in Spanish. While co**ha in English translates to seashell. Makes sense given that co**has look like seashells! 🐚

💚Homemade corn tortillas are one of my favorite foods ever. They’re extremely versatile and can be eaten in so many different ways – as a taco, fried or baked to make homemade tortilla chips or as a simple side that’s perfect for soaking up delicious saucy dishes like my mole verde.💚

🌎🥘 Anthony Bourdain once wrote:

“Americans love Mexican food. We consume nachos, tacos, burritos, tortas, enchiladas, tamales and anything resembling Mexican in enormous quantities. We love Mexican beverages, happily knocking back huge amounts of tequila, mezcal, and Mexican beer every year. We love Mexican people — we sure employ a lot of them. Despite our ridiculously hypocritical attitudes towards immigration, we demand that Mexicans cook a large percentage of the food we eat, grow the ingredients we need to make that food, clean our houses, mow our lawns, wash our dishes, and look after our children. As any chef will tell you, our entire service economy — the restaurant business as we know it — in most American cities, would collapse overnight without Mexican workers. Some, of course, like to claim that Mexicans are “stealing American jobs.” But in two decades as a chef and employer, I never had ONE American kid walk in my door and apply for a dishwashing job, a porter’s position — or even a job as a prep cook. Mexicans do much of the work in this country that Americans, probably, simply won’t do.

We love Mexican drugs. Maybe not you personally, but “we”, as a nation, certainly consume titanic amounts of them — and go to extraordinary lengths and expense to acquire them. We love Mexican music, Mexican beaches, Mexican architecture, interior design, Mexican films.
So, why don’t we love Mexico?
We throw up our hands and shrug at what happens and what is happening just across the border. Maybe we are embarrassed. Mexico, after all, has always been there for us, to service our darkest needs and desires. Whether it’s dress up like fools and get passed-out drunk and sunburned on spring break in Cancun, throw pesos at st*****rs in Tijuana, or get toasted on Mexican drugs, we are seldom on our best behavior in Mexico. They have seen many of us at our worst. They know our darkest desires.

In the service of our appetites, we spend billions and billions of dollars each year on Mexican drugs — while at the same time spending billions and billions more trying to prevent those drugs from reaching us. The effect on our society is everywhere to be seen. Whether it’s kids nodding off and overdosing in small town Vermont, gang violence in L.A., burned out neighborhoods in Detroit — it’s there to see. What we don’t see, however, haven’t really noticed, and don’t seem to much care about, is the 80,000 dead in Mexico, just in the past few years — mostly innocent victims. Eighty thousand families who’ve been touched directly by the so-called “War On Drugs”.

Mexico. Our brother from another mother. A country, with whom, like it or not, we are inexorably, deeply involved, in a close but often uncomfortable embrace. Look at it. It’s beautiful. It has some of the most ravishingly beautiful beaches on earth. Mountains, desert, jungle. Beautiful colonial architecture, a tragic, elegant, violent, ludicrous, heroic, lamentable, heartbreaking history. Mexican wine country rivals Tuscany for gorgeousness. Its archeological sites — the remnants of great empires, unrivaled anywhere. And as much as we think we know and love it, we have barely scratched the surface of what Mexican food really is. It is NOT melted cheese over tortilla chips. It is not simple, or easy. It is not simply “bro food” at halftime. It is in fact, old — older even than the great cuisines of Europe, and often deeply complex, refined, subtle, and sophisticated. A true mole sauce, for instance, can take DAYS to make, a balance of freshly (always fresh) ingredients painstakingly prepared by hand. It could be, should be, one of the most exciting cuisines on the planet, if we paid attention. The old school cooks of Oaxaca make some of the more difficult and nuanced sauces in gastronomy. And some of the new generation — many of whom have trained in the kitchens of America and Europe — have returned home to take Mexican food to new and thrilling heights.
It’s a country I feel particularly attached to and grateful for. In nearly 30 years of cooking professionally, just about every time I walked into a new kitchen, it was a Mexican guy who looked after me, had my back, showed me what was what, and was there — and on the case — when the cooks like me, with backgrounds like mine, ran away to go skiing or surfing or simply flaked. I have been fortunate to track where some of those cooks come from, to go back home with them. To small towns populated mostly by women — where in the evening, families gather at the town’s phone kiosk, waiting for calls from their husbands, sons and brothers who have left to work in our kitchens in the cities of the North. I have been fortunate enough to see where that affinity for cooking comes from, to experience moms and grandmothers preparing many delicious things, with pride and real love, passing that food made by hand from their hands to mine.

In years of making television in Mexico, it’s one of the places we, as a crew, are happiest when the day’s work is over. We’ll gather around a street stall and order soft tacos with fresh, bright, delicious salsas, drink cold Mexican beer, sip smoky mezcals, and listen with moist eyes to sentimental songs from street musicians. We will look around and remark, for the hundredth time, what an extraordinary place this is.
The received wisdom is that Mexico will never change. That is hopelessly corrupt, from top to bottom. That it is useless to resist — to care, to hope for a happier future. But there are heroes out there who refuse to go along. On this episode of “Parts Unknown,” we meet a few of them. People who are standing up against overwhelming odds, demanding accountability, demanding change — at great, even horrifying personal cost.”

Hola hola!!!
I want to share this with you all and I hope it brings a smile 😊🏝
💚Reopening dates!

27/05/2020

This is one of our host family with children- Candido, Isabel, Anna & Marla. Candido works as a butler at an award winning resort and Isabel is a stay at home mom. They love to host cook-outs, play in the park and visit the beach. Bonus- they have “pet” chickens 🐓 but one that helps notify some one is coming in like a door bell!🔔

During our visit we enjoyed a delicious Mexican coffee prepared in the “olla” (pot) on the open fire, Mexican cookies & pastries, traditional roasted corn on the cob – served with mayonnaise, salty cheese & spicy red pepper, and a creamy/buttery cracker that is dunked into your coffee. Coffee & crackers sounded crazy but it was actually tasty.

This was a very different Breaking Bread experience from our city hosts. We really enjoyed our day ….fresh air, no city noises, lots of fun with the chickens and enjoyable conversation and laughs as we watched the sunset from the patio. There is something magical about a visit to the countryside.

✅Rocio, Alejandro and Chuck🐕 We have amazing host\bakers!

Chef Alejandro had prepared— Chicken Tinga. Served with crispy tortillas, sour cream, shredded cheese (cotija- a salty, crumbly cheese) and a not too spicy Chipotle salsa. Rocio had chilled a refreshing pitcher of Jamaica Water (hibiscus flower) to accompany our snack.

These two and Chuck are a delightful family that you will certainly enjoy “Breaking Bread” with!!!

💚For many unconditional love is utopian, for a mother it is impossible to think of another type of love. Thank you mom for always loving and supporting me.
To feel love, you just have to think about our mothers and our hearts will be filled with it. Congratulations TO ALL Mothers on their day.🙌🏼
