Splendid Table in Mexico City

The Splendid Table is a culinary, culture, and lifestyle program that celebrates food. On Saturday Feb. 28 award-winning host Lynne Rossetto Kasper will lead listeners on a journey of the senses through Mexico City with some of its most famous chefs.

Their culinary odyssey lead them of course to the grand dame of Mexican cuisine Diana Kennedy who was kind enough to take us through the gardens of her Mexican ecologic home in the state of Michoacan.

A short visit to the Museo de Antropologia helped give them another view of Mexican history and culture pre-conquest.

Candid shots of Lynne and her stalwart production team (Sally Swift and Chris Heagle) conducting interviews on the UNAM campus with Chef Margarita Carrillo de Salinas and Ricardo Munoz Zurita. 

Congratulations to Lynne and her crew for surviving such an intensive week long schedule intent on capturing the Mexican culinary soul.

And thank you Lynne for letting me tag along!
