Hola Pati, I have to agree with your fondness for Michoacan! A place that seems to be, in some ways, “untouched by time”. My mother was from Ario de Rosales. I have wonderful memories of such a magical place, and share that fondness. Wonderful memories as a child to visit my grandparents “al rancho” , visiting the “tios & primos” thru out the state. The Carnitas from Quiroga & “Mole Michoacano” of Morelia, avocados & mangos verdes from Uruapan, “birria de chivo” from Nueva Italia! I digress, I could go on. I truly am thankful for people such as Diana Kennedy, Cristina Potters, and yourself, for the wonderful flashbacks of the sights, sounds, smells of, as you put it, “The soul of Mexico”, My mother’s & Mexico’s “Magical Michoacan”.

My dad is from Puruandiro, Michoacan…..gotta say, they do have delicious cuisine. My grandmother would cook some really good food. I used to visit a lot when I was young. One of my favorite things to have was the Pozole, Lime/Lemon ice cream (I remember a light green color), Galletas de Nata, and Buñuelos. I have made the Buñuelos with my parents, it’s a lot of work but well worth it. My girls love them! The one thing I miss is having the Lime ice cream. The ice cream vendor would walk down the street pushing his cart and I would hurry out to buy the delicious treat. They would serve it on a small cone with a couple of small scoops. I believe it’s milk based…..it has a distinct flavor, nothing I’ve tasted elsewhere. I no longer visit and I would love to have the recipe!!!!!

Do you happen to know a recipe for cemas from Michoacan? I had it once while traveling there and it was so good but I have not been able to find anything like it anywhere. The one I had was a very rustic, dense, and sweet whole wheat bread with cinnamon (if I remember correctly). The cemas I find in the U.S. are dry and very light.

I just saw your show today and was so pleased to see u cook authentic dishes, without the untradition beans and rice everyone seems to think accopanies all Mexican dishes. I was commenting to my husband years ago that not all our dishes come with beans and rice, and not all rice and bean dishes are fried.I’m going to start watching your show without missing an episode. thank you and please add me to your email list. We have always called them licuados now these are called smoothies, do you know where they originated?
