  • I grew up in a family where food was the glue

  • of everything, cooking, eating, and sitting around a table

  • brings people together in a way that few things do.

  • I never set out to become a chef.

  • I opened a restaurant, and it was a farm-to-table restaurant

  • in Mexico City when that was not the general trend.

  • It was so successful that I turned it into my career.

  • This class is for everybody and anybody

  • who's interested in food.

  • It's important to know about other cultures through food.

  • I'm going to teach you how to make a few delicious salsas.

  • Oh, my goodness, it's so good.

  • Pescado ala talla, tuna tostadas, aguachile,

  • tamales, and I'm going to teach you how to make tortillas.

  • From age 7, I became the resident tortilla maker

  • [LAUGHS]

  • I really urge you to pay attention

  • to every bit of what you put into the dish, just

  • in a way in which you translate your enjoyment.

  • Está delicioso.

  • And I know it's not always easy, but the more one

  • can connect with people over a shared

  • love of a delightful dish, the better off your result will be.
