Hello and welcome back to Buen Provecho Chronicles! Today I’ll be sharing my conversation with Isabel Torrealba who is one half of the dynamic duo behind Mexican Culinary Traditions. Isabel along with her mother, Iliana de la Vega, offers week-long immersive experiences to some of the most important culinary destinations in Mexico. When you travel with them you’re traveling with an anthropologist and a chef, so you’re not getting your standard food tour, but so much more!

A food system in the simplest of terms is about production, processing, distribution and consumption. But, nothing is ever that simple. Check out my conversation with Andrea Hagan from Mezcouting to learn how community, culture, policies and so much more affect our food systems.

Hola, I’m Claudia and I love all things food! Food is my poetry. I’m endlessly fascinated by what food can teach us. It’s language, place, memory and so much more. My connection to food has a lot to do with my cultural upbringing as a second generation immigrant. Join me as I chat with guests to learn more about the role food plays in their life and if they are as singularly obsessed with it as I am!
