My mission: authentic Mexican food

Chef Deborah Schneider, SOL Cocina
I love Mexico – especially the edible parts! For something like thirty years I’ve been eating, cooking and writing about Mexican food (five cookbooks so far,) and I now own two Mexican restaurants. In fact, my mission in life seems to be turning people on to how soulfully delicious (and surprisingly healthful) authentic Mexican food can be.

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!
