  Chiles en Nogada

  08.09.11 | Permalink | 1 Comment | By Jonathan

  Enjoyed by my mother at Mexico City restaurant el Bajío, this dish is called Chiles en Nogada. Nogal means walnut tree, and the dish is made from a poblano chili filled with picadillo, a ground meat and spice mixture, and served with a walnut-based cream sauce and finished with pomegranate seeds. All together it is [...]

  On a recent trip to Thailand, I fell in love. With the food.
  I am going to profile a few of my favorite things, starting with coconut smoothies. Fresh coconut is delicious and in the form of a cold refreshing smoothie it makes the perfect indulgence on a hot afternoon, with a sensuality that no beer [...]

  04.13.11 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

Apparently hunters in Central & East java catch 1000 cobras per week for burgers priced at about $1.15 each. And just like every time people consume snakes, there is talk of an [...]

  Birthday on Grasshopper Hill

  02.09.11 | Permalink | 3 Comments | By Jonathan

  My grandmother turned a respectable 85 yesterday, and as part of the festivities chapulines (grasshoppers) were bought from a truck vendor. She lives in an affluent area of Mexico City called Lomas de Chapultepec, which derives its name from a Nahuatl phrase meaning “Grasshopper Hill.”
  Chapulines are toasted on a comal (clay cooking surface) with garlic, [...]

  Mexican Food Marathon

  01.04.11 | Permalink | 7 Comments | By Jonathan

  I have just returned from a belly-busting Mexican food marathon in Acapulco, where our tireless chef prepared dish after delectable dish. We swam in seas of salsa, rode the highs of habanero and conceived countless cheese babies. We snacked on cacahuate japones by the bucket, crunched the chicharrón from a thousand pigs and passed around [...]

The lastest photo to arrive is this delicious looking breakfast from the Grand Hyatt Tokyo, with nicely cooked scrambled eggs, smoked salmon with capers, fresh oyster mushrooms and bread! And of course, a side of [...]
