Flavours of Mexico, on the Travel Channel

We met the producer of this programme over margaritas at the Mexican Embassy  last week while celebrating Mexican Independence Day. We’d love to do a culinary trip across Mexico like this but also we’re really excited that a programme like this is being done as just spreads the word more that there is SO much diversity to Mexican food.

The TV programme started on Monday 21st, Travel Channel, channel 251 on SKY and will continue every Monday  at 9pm for the next 6 weeks. For anyone passionate about Mexican food and the different flavours and traditions across this vast country this should be a great show!

Next weeks show details!

“Charlie bites off more than he can chew in this sizzling hot romp across the Yucatan Peninsula. After tackling the world’s hottest chilli, our intrepid gastronome takes a tour of some of Mexico’s most visited sites like Chichen Itza and Ek Balam, before dropping in on a Mayan family to unearth an ancient recipe for buried pig. In the second half, we show you the secret, subterranean world of cenotes as Charlie dives through a breathtaking maze of underground rivers and cave systems. Finally, we head for the Caribbean and give you an exclusive look at some of the highlights of the Mayan Riviera.”

If you don’t have SKY (like me) then you will be able to buy the DVD on line soon.
