Food & Nationality in Mexico Talk and Tasting with Sofia Craxton

An exploration of edible Mexican plants and the tastes of indigenous Mexican cooking and their interaction with other ingredients through history and throughout the world. Sofia will touch on the subject of Nationality (nationalism) in Mexican gastronomy to how something that is inherently 'Mexican' can be adopted and adapted by others. Sofia has a degree in Chemistry and Food Science from Mexico City University, has written cookery books, appeared on Radio 4 programmes on cooking and runs her own catering/teaching company: Fiesta Sofia.

This is a fund-raising event to support cultural activities at Canning House.
