Episode 72
Located in central Mexico and framed by majestic volcanoes, the UNESCO listed city of Angels sits in a vast valley where beautiful colonial buildings tell the 500-year-old story of a metropolis envisioned as an aspiring model for all Spanish territories in the Americas. The famous 5 de mayo battle is one of the many historical events that have occurred in Puebla, but what consistently brings visitors to the city is its delicious cuisine that has gifted the world dishes like: chiles en nogada, mole poblano, pipianes, a huge confectionary catalogue, craft drinks and the world-famous Arab and pastor tacos. This episode celebrates the culinary traditions and history of my hometown that is indeed Mexico’s gastronomic jewel.
