If all of the world´s cultural heritage was contained in a time capsule, what would you
include to demonstrate the legacy of your country?
!!

What? !
A regional Mexican cookbook, one that would include the most representative recipes, showcasing the richness that Mexico has
regarding it’s cuisine. !
!Why?
!✤ Through the culinary heritage of a country, we can tell a lot from it’s
history, culture and their inhabitants. !✤ Due to Mexico’s geographic location, we have many ecosystems that
translate in multiple species of plants and animals and that has made our cuisine very diverse from state to state.
!✤ Mexico has also contributed with indigenous ingredients that are essential
to the cuisine of other countries. !✤ For these reasons and others, in 2010, Mexican cuisine was added by
UNESCO to it’s list of the world’s intangible cultural heritage.

These are some of the ingredients that have been exported from Mexico to the world: !✤ Avocado
✤ Tomato
✤ Beans

D✤ Mexican cuisine is a fusion of indigenous Mesoamerican and European cooking, but mostly Spanish.
!!✤ During the Spanish conquest, in the 16th century, the conquerors tried to impose their diet, but this proved to be difficult and eventually the ingredients and cooking techniques blended together.
!!✤ Over the centuries, this created various regional cuisines, based on local conditions. Mexican cuisine is closely tied to the culture, social structure and popular traditions of the country.
