History and culture in every scene
As in all our experiences, the hosts' dialogue and the event's activities are written with real information about Mexican history and culture. You have fun and, without even noticing, you learn. While you cook or taste, the hosts explain the origin of each ingredient and technique and its place in Mexican history.
