Latin American Food on the History Channel

Published May 7, 2008 by Rachel Laudan

If you’re in Mexico, here’s a great-looking series on Latin American food coming up on the History Channel. It should be interesting, given how little known these cuisines are outside the region. I’ve no idea whether it will be shown in other countries or whether it will be translated into English.

Thanks to Cristina Palacio for sending along the schedule (and for all the other bits and pieces she sends out on what’s going on in the study of Mexican cuisine).

    Well, I only caught the last fifteen minutes or so of the first show. It was in very understandable Spanish and it appeared to be a nice cultural travelogue type presentation. It seemed to give a nice overview of food without going into specific details much. For those who don´t speak Spanish it might still be worthwhile to watch because the scenes were well done. I look forward to the next show. I am sure that there will be something to be learned in every one of them. Many thanks to Cristina and Rachel for the heads up!
