Mexican Cuisine

Then & Now

I'm going to talk about old and new cuisine. But I will focus on

the Mexican because I find it very interesting because it has a lot of complex dishes and recipes, that

not everyone can make them.

Mexican cuisine, tasty and spicy as it is known now, is one of the oldest in

the world, according to a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Mexican cuisine has influenced various cuisines of the world and has also been influenced by other cuisines such as Spanish, African, Middle Eastern, Asian. The 16 November 2010 Mexican cuisine was recognized as Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

The new culinary trend is based on a mixture of international culinary techniques with traditional Mexican dishes. This trend is very convenient for people, since it simplifies the preparation of the dishes without leaving behind the customs concerning the ingredients and the taste of these dishes.
