When I think about a Mexican food memories from my childhood this dessert is one of them. I’ve never going to forget when we used to go to my grandma’s house, my auntie Laura, used to make flan for use every time we were there and every time I used to end up licking the plate, that sugar syrup is addictive and the custard is just amazing and the good news is, that is just so easy to make, that I feel a bit embarrassed to be posting the recipe here, but as my friend Claudia said to me, “there are people that don’t know how to make it” so here it is.

December is the busiest month of the year for me! Lots of things happen during this month, my birthday, which I celebrate for a whole week, my daughter’s birthday, Christmas shows, Christmas shopping, Christmas dinner with friends, uff!! I hardly have time to rest.
But every year I like to take time to cook a few recipes for my homemade Christmas presents, last year I made some Mexican candy and Mexican chocolate cookies and they were a hit, this year I am making some Coricos, Mexican corn dough cookies, which are delicious and so Christmas.

My cooking comadres club is growing!! This time I had my lovely friend Claudia who came to cook with me the simplest dish ever, we cooked gorditas with piloncillo (jaggery), she had been telling me for months that she wanted to cook these addictive little patties for me for ages, but for some reason every time we used to organised something, we had to cancel it.

It is the summer season, and this only calls for something nice and cold and these ice lollies are just perfect for those hot days.

There is nothing more comforting than to sit down and have a lovely hot cup of coffee and a piece of “Pan Dulce” (this is what my mummy always says). Since I remember, pan dulce has been one of the things that we would always have at home. Continue reading “Elotes (Mexican Sweet Bread)”
There is nothing more cosy than enjoying a nice cup of Mexican hot chocolate with a lovely piece of Mexican Pan Dulce (Sweet Bread) and the company of a good friend. In Mexico, Pan Dulce is like another world in Mexican Cuisine, the Mexican Panaderias (Bakeries) are always full of delicious and inventive breads, each one with its own personality. Here in London is kind of impossible to get good quality Mexican sweet bread, but there is a talented Mexican girl that knows how to make Pan Dulce very well, her name is Katrina, she is an artist and an excellent cook, so I thought to invite her to my house and bake together!
