the chef: part one, tortillas.

During the trip to San Miguel de Allende, Mati Rose and I were blessed to spend a magical day working with Paco Cardenas. We began with a tour of the mercado where we met Paco’s favorite vendors, made a fortuitous stop for carnitas (another story for another time), and then moved on to his open air kitchen where the cooking began. This experience is hard to explain in words, luckily I have many images to share. We begin with the making of the tortillas…

… tomorrow, three salsas and the rajas con crema!
