Episode 88
This episode features a fascianting conversation with Professor Iván Escamilla González, also known on Instagram as El Cronista Novohispano (The Novohispanic Chronicler). Together, we delve into a historical exploration of food, examining a range of contrasting aspects—from the lavish feasts of the upper classes to the stark realities of famine, and the creation of new food systems in the Spanish Viceroyalty of Mexico. There was so much ground to cover!
We begin with an overview of New Spain, touching on its geographical, political, and social landscapes. This sets the stage for discussing the introduction of the Spanish food system.
Next, we dive into the fascinating topic of political feasting in colonial Mexico, contrasting it with the darker history of hunger, famines, and food riots.
In the fourth section, we shift our focus to the transpacific trade and its impact on food systems. Finally, we wrap up with a thought-provoking discussion on the challenges of researching and sharing history in the age of social media.

This episode features a conversation with Mexican anthropologist and PhD candidate Mario Macias Ayala @mario.maciasaa in which we discuss several intertwined projects that are at the core of his research:
-Return migration within Mexican-American dynamics: Mario unravels the intricate tapestry of return migration within the complex web of Mexican-American relationships.
-Cooperative Initiatives: empowering indigenous farmers and microbrewing: We explore the transformative role of cooperatives in facilitating reintegration and fostering entrepreneurship among indigenous farmers. Additionally, we delve into the growing microbrewing scene, initially a passion project, now a catalyst for unexpected collaborations and alliances within the communities Mario has encountered.
Join us as we navigate through these rich narratives that illuminate the profound connections between food, culture, and community.
There is a long and rich list of resources that Mario and I have put together for you which you can see here:

This episode features a conversation with Dr Caroline Dodds Pennock about her latest book: On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe combining a critical perspective that questions the historiography, narratives, and consequences of marginalizing the role of indigenous people in the colonial and post-colonial contexts, with a critical view of the complex history of Mexico's formation and the silenced voices and stories that continue to bleed through the cracks of power structures.
We talk about the challenges of writing historical narratives about indigenous travelers, the types of historical research will we be looking at in the future, and what are the obstacles that decolonial historical research has to tackle to diversify and enrich present and future scholarship.

Presented by: Rocio Carvajal Food anthropologist, culture & gastronomy educator. Episode 82 Dr Pablo Sierra’s research contests that blackness is a decidedly foreign concept in the cultural history of the City of Puebla, an idealised urban centre whose narratives about Spanish baroque splendour have silenced the stories and presence of other ethnic groups, namely thousands of enslaved and free afro descendants. In this episode, we discuss the rise of Afromexican studies, Puebla’s role in the slave trade, the racialised configuration of the novohispanic society, and the challenges of critical historical research. We also talk about the case of an elite Afro-Indigenous couple in colonial Puebla, called Felipe Monsón y Mojica and Juana María de la Cruz that lived in the 17th century and rose to power and wealth as chilli tycoons. Their history reveals incredible details about social mobility, self-empowerment, interracial relations and even Puebla’s intertwined history with piracy in the Caribbean.

When Salvador packed his camera and got off to start a journey documenting traditional drinks of Mexico, he didn’t know that his life was about to change forever. This adventure became the beginning of a transformative experience for him and the many lives he has touched.
In this candid, honest and rich conversation, we discuss his motivations, the creative and personal process behind the making of his book “Beverages of Oaxaca”, social responsibility, the challenges of being a content creator, and he shares advice for those who want to pursue a similar path.

Episode 79
Welcome to the season finale!
In this episode, I discuss how early printed cookbooks in Mexico were tools of cultural propaganda. Through a form of culinary patriotism, cookbooks built the gastronomic identity of a newly independent nation promoting the adoption of behaviours, tastes and manners of the whiter middle and upper classes.
In light of the aggressive exploitation of cultural expressions, contemporary discussions are contesting the dated and monolithic idea of “a Mexican gastronomy” that has erased and silenced the culinary identity and food practices of indigenous communities and ethnic minorities.

In this episode I discuss my guest’s new book: “The Last Emperor of Mexico: The Dramatic Story of the Habsburg Archduke Who Created a Kingdom in the New World.” This work is so much more than the story of Maximilian I, it really captures the zeitgeist of a bygone era that is fundamental in the history of Mexico with deep connections to the global geopolitical dynamics of the 19th c.
We cross examine the historical events and view under different perspectives the motives, interests and consequences of this bizarre and fascinating episode that brought together Europe’s most important political forces and the ambitions of Mexican conservatives that paved the way for the short ill lived Habsburg empire of Mexico.

This episode explores the remote origins of wheat in the Middle East and its voyage to the New World where it inspired one of the most important food industries of the colonial period.
You will hear about the hidden world of bakeries, guilds and brotherhoods that organised an invisible workforce that fed thousands of people. I will introduce you to the magical colonial bread stamps and how I brought back to life a 500-year-old bread recipe!

This episode explores different aspects of the cultural production of food in traditional indigenous cultures of Mexico, and some of them are related to preparation methods as explored by the“culinary triangle” of raw, cooked and rotten. And other aspects focus on the creation of meanings, practices, attitudes and uses of food in pre-Columbian and contemporary societies.
I want to get you very excited about the many different ways of analysing food that helps us see culinary traditions in a new light and broaden our possibilities of exploration and understanding of them.
