MAY 24, OCTOBER 18 AND DECEMBER 6 @ 6:30 PM
The Mexican Cultural Institute welcomes you to the fifth year of its culinary program, Mexican Table with Patricia Jinich. Come join us for an ongoing series of culinary adventures, as we travel through time, regions and topics surrounding you with Mexico's colors, flavors and hospitality!
During each event, we will show you why in November of 2010, Traditional Mexican Cuisine was included to UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list and you will have the opportunity to watch an entertaining demonstration, followed by a sumptuous dinner served with wine, beer and music. As a souvenir, you will take home recipes and some ingredients to get you started cooking at home.
"America is obsessed with television food celebrities. Somewhere along the way, we forgot that, in the kitchen, there just isn’t any substitute for passion and talent. We’ve conveniently chosen to ignore the fact that many of these “stars” are neither food experts nor stars. However, we have our own right here in DC, and she is always a star, even when there aren’t any TV cameras around.
Her name is Pati Jinich, and she is a wealth of knowledge about Mexican cuisine and food culture and the origins and history of ingredients. Her enthusiasm for her subject is infectious, and when she speaks, you are entranced by her warm smile and engaging, funny personality. She is a consummate professional whose recipes are well researched, tested, and easy-to-understand. Pati’s classes are more like culinary extravaganzas where, in between cooking, chopping, and pureeing sauces in a blender, Pati entertains her guests with amusing, information-packed anecdotes.
The last class of 2011 was a smash hit with the more than 125 guests and food lovers who attended. But don’t worry, she’ll be back in 2012 with an even more incredible lineup of programs."
