The Georgetowner: Mexico Salutes “Pati’s Mexican Table”
If you are into the habit, like me, of making your own home made corn tortillas, a tortilla press comes in really handy.
It’s true that tortillas can be made in many different ways such as simply flattening round corn masa or dough balls with your hands or rolling out the masa with a rolling pin. However, the tortilla press makes the process be a speedy, consistent, fun and even therapeutic one (it is!).
Moreover, look at what a pretty tool it is (click here for more information and photo).

“I’m a bit of a rice connoisseur. It’s probably in the genes.
I know good rice when I see it, and I know great rice when I taste it.
So when I watched Mexican Cultural Institute chef Patricia Jinich unveil her arroz amarillo (yellow rice), my head began to spin.
This steamy pot of golden fluffiness looked almost too good to be true…”

The Examiner: All I want for Christmas is a cooking class

The Washington Post: Welcome to Pati’s Table

Express Night Out: The Whole Enchilada
“En la reunión de redacción previa a la edición del Cinco de Mayo surgió la idea de reunir a un grupo de mexicanos que vivieran en el área y que representaran acción pura, que destacaran en sus trabajos, que reflejaran los valores, las ganas, la rebeldía y la fuerza del inmigrante que se abre camino y alcanza una meta. Surgieron nombres a borbotones. La lista final se consolidó en seis: Ricardo Juarez, activista; Patricia Jinich, chef; Gustavo Velasquez, director de la Oficina de Derechos Humanos en DC… “

“Patricia Jinich teaches regional Mexican cooking at the Mexican Cultural Institute here. But at the Lubavitch Center recently she showed about 70 Jewish women how to cook for Passover.
She made gefilte fish in a Veracruz sauce of tomatoes, pickled peppers, olives and capers, and spoke of how her Polish grandfather loved to wrap fresh, warm tortillas around gribenes (chicken cracklings with fried onions) with a side of guacamole.
Some of the women were in long dresses, with their heads covered. Ms. Jinich, 37, had on a Mexican huipil blouse with red and green trim under her chef’s jacket.

The NYTimes: A Taste of Passover, With a Mexican Accent
“Patricia Jinich, an expert on the regional cuisines of Mexico who
teaches cooking classes at the Mexican Cultural Institute in
Washington, explains the differences between the American tortilla

and the other one uses fresh meat, and it’s a stew. You cook the meat
until it is very tender and it’s finished off in an ancho chili sauce.
It’s an exquisite ingredient in one freshly made tortilla. That’s it.”…”
