Cooking with Abigail Mendoza

I’m finally sharing some of my culinary travel photos.  Yearly, I travel to o“El Saber Del Sabor” I had the opportunity to cook with the amazing traditional cocinera Abigail Mendoza in Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca.

I was determined to set aside a day to cook with Abigail. My talented chef friend Tanya Orozco was lovely enough to arrange a private cooking session with her in her beautiful restaurant Tlamanalli. We prepared a beautiful pre-hispanic Sopa De Flor De Calabaza con Chepil. This was a magical culinary experience and on your next to visit to Oaxaca you must visit her restaurant !
