grew up around food. His family owned a restaurant in Mexico City and he spent a big deal of his childhood helping and learning after school the art of creating delicious dishes from simple ingredients. He created this blog to share his kitchen adventures with the world.
I made homemade chili powder American-style chili last week and when I opened my bags of dried chiles, I almost gasped in ecstasy because they smelled so heavenly. There is just nothing like that rich, pungent smell to make me appreciate Mexican food, Mexican life, Mexican culture.

Hey, I know this chile stand! Mercado San Juan, right? I’d recognize those plastic bags and the powdered pepita anywhere.
