I am stoked to begin this online collaboration with MexGrocer.com, which as you all know is the best source for all Mexican ingredients. I’ll be providing recipes, resources and a whole video ‘cooking school’ to demonstrate the basics of Mexican technique and cooking, while MexGrocer will be your go-to source for hard-to-find, authentic Mexican ingredients.
I live in San Diego, so it’s easy to hop across the border into Baja California for a quick trip to my favorite market in Tijuana. A few hours (and a couple of street tacos) later, I’ll be back in my kitchen revving up the stove and experimenting with the bounty from my latest trip south, which I look forward to sharing with you: resources, recipes, ingredients – you’ll find it all here, along great writing from all the MexGrocer contributors and bloggers. See you in the kitchen!
