Description

Discover why traditional Mexican cuisine was named an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. This webinar breaks down the deep ancestral roots behind Mexico’s food culture, exploring how ancient Mesoamerican staples like corn, avocado, chilis, and cacao formed the foundation for one of the world’s most complex culinary traditions. We will cover the ancient techniques still used today—like nixtamalización and traditional mole making—and explore key regional flavors from Oaxaca, Yucatán, and Central Mexico. It’s a direct look at the history, ingredients, and cultural rituals that make Mexican food far more than just what’s on the plate.
