  • Mexico City – Tlaxcala – Puebla Itinerary
    Culinary Educator: CENTRAL MEXICO: A CULINARY ADVENTURE Rick Bayless itinerary: ® THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA SEPTEMBER Presentedby Travel Programs 20-27, ® 2008 mexico city – tlaxcala – puebla itinerary Mexico City has been the center of the culinary world of Mexico since it was the Aztec capital situated on islands in the middle of a shallow lake. Then named Tenochtitlan, it was a magnificent city of great size – by 1519 it was five times larger than London. To feed its many people, farmers encircled the islands with small floating gardens separated by canals on which they grew fresh vegetables, herbs, and chiles. This was also the hub into which all roads led, bringing different types of food from distant parts of the country to sell and trade at the huge market in the center of the city. With the conquest by the Spaniards, another layer of culinary achievements was added, for these settlers brought with them the ingredients and memories of a cuisine infused by 28 generations of Moorish control. The food found today in Mexico City, the largest city in the world, still reflects its origins with enormous varieties of the centuries-old masa snacks found in the city’s markets and from street vendors. Then there are the traditional dishes, such as moles and pipianes, as well as the exciting dishes that are being created by chefs using traditional Mexican ingredients in new ways. Day 1: Saturday, September 20 (Mexico City) Arrive at the Hotel Maria Cristina before 5:00 p.m. The hotel is located near the Zona Rosa with many shops and art galleries.

The focus of this study is the culinary culture of barbacoa- makers in the community of Barrio San Mateo, Milpa Alta in Mexico City. Mexican cuisine is analysed at three levels - the social and cuhnary(contexts)of the production and consumption of barbacoa ; the daily life bf women and especially their domestic cooking tasks; and the dynamics of hospitality ,as expressed in the cycle of fiestas. Barbacoa is pit-roast lamb, and the production of it is an important means of livelihood in San Mateo (along with the cultivation of nopales , and other agricultural activities).
