Gourmet Magazine's May 2008 issue that promotes cooking vacations, lists Culinary Adventures, Inc. and Marilyn as the Slow Road to Mexican Cooking. Thanks Ian Knauer who attended the 2007 Chefs' Trip to San Miguel de Allende.
During our recent two trips to the state of Guanajuato, we were afforded the opportunity to meet Rachel Laudan at her home in the city of Guanajuato where we saw her kitchen and visited her wonderful office with its hundreds of books. Now you can visit her kitchen on line at SAVEUR.COM/issue110 and read about her various kitchens throughout her lifetime in Saveur's April 2008 issue in its Kitchenwise article entitled Great Adaptations written by Rachel herself.
Laura Diaz Brown, or Chef Lala to her friends, recently attended Culinary Adventures's Chefs' Trip to San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato. Chef LaLa was recently seen on the Today and the Martha Stewart shows to promote her latest cookbook, Best-Loved Mexican Cooking, that was just released by Publication International. Go to cheflala for more information.
Saveur's 100 favorite foods, restaurants, drinks, people, places, and things lists Ricardo Munoz's Diccionario Enciclopedico de Gastronomia Mexicana as its 17th favorite in the Feb. 2008 issue.
Check out the January issue of Bon Appétit for the Destination of the Year piece on Mexico City written by Carolynn Carreño who lists some of our favorite restaurants and people in the article. Our good friends Carmen Titita Ramirez Degollado's El Bajio and Patricia Quintana's Izote restaurants are both mentioned, as well as Aguila y Sol and Pujol. Enrique Olvera, a Culinary Institute of America graduate, is chef-owner of Pujol, one of Rick Bayless's favorite restaurants in Mexico City.
The International Association of Culinary Professional's Culinary Trust's comittee for the Harry A. Bell Grants for Food Writers has awarded a grant to Marilyn for travel and research for a pre-contract phrase of a book proposal. Marilyn plans to spend time with some of the indigenous cooks she has met traveling in Mexico for the past 20 years to gather their stories and recipes.
