Mexican Morsels: Prawn Sandwiches for Easter

This week we’re going to focus on a great site that we’ve stumbled across called Mexconnect. It’s an online magazine that posts regular content about life in Mexico. We think it has been designed mainly to make us jealous!

The first article is by Daniel Wheeler, one of Mexconnect’s fantastic food columnists. He describes some tasty alternatives to red meat during the Catholic festival of Lent.

Another of their columnists is Karen Hursh Graber. She has written some delectable posts about spring berries (which are probably more autumn berries for us in the UK), but given the cold weather here, we’ll wait for a more suitable time to link to those and instead link to this article she has written on the cuisine of Oaxaca. At the end of her article she links to some great Oaxacan recipes.

The third article that we want to link to is a calendar of Mexican food festivals. If the articles above are tempting you across the Atlantic, this will be a good guide as to what you can expect in terms of culinary fiestas!

Finally this week, we found this article from Rancho Gordo who grow New World products in the USA. In this post they cook a dish from our favourite Mexican chef, Diana Kennedy.

If you see any interesting morsels from Mexico, please let us know!
