At the risk of alienating readers who were drooling with envy over yesterday’s Chiles en nogada post, I bring you today’s lunch. This time I was dining with friends, which makes already delicious food taste even better.
Tres cocinera (3 cooks): Celia Florian, Carina Santiago, Kalisa Wells
Comida at Las Quince Letras where mis amigas Carina Santiago of restaurant and gallery Tierra Antigua in Teotitlán del Valle, Kalisa Wells (cocinera and new neighbor), and I were joined by the restaurant’s delightful owner/chef and ambassador extraordinaire of Oaxaca gastronomy, Celia Florian. (An aside: Celia and I were on the same flight from Mexico City to Oaxaca on Saturday night and I apologize to the other passengers for briefly blocking the aisle as we greeted each other with hugs.)
Appetizer of Garnachas Istmeña
Aguacate relleno
Chile de agua vinagreta
Dessert of warm pastel de elote
What a delicious and delightful way to spend my second day back home in Oaxaca.
