This event takes place at CSI Spadina, 192 Spadina Ave., Suite 501In Mexico, a cenaduria is a small, unassuming place most often run by a family, serving casual fare like pozole and tostadas. There are a countless number of these little spots, each one a repository of family recipes and local traditions, and every Mexican has their favourite ones for specific dishes. Tonight Mariel González of Catrina’s Kitchen evokes the spirit of the cenaduria with a very special pozole recipe, passed down across multiple generations, along side a few other authentic specialities from her home state of Nayarit in western Mexico.

Agua de Horchata
Tonight’s meal is served with this classic Mexican agua fresca, a chilled, cinnamon-infused rice milk.
Ceviche De Camaron estilo Nayarit
Nayarit is nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the forested mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental. Its proximity to the sea makes fresh seafood a big part of the local cuisine. In ceviche, shrimp is ‘cooked’ by the acid of a tangy lime juice marinade, then tossed with juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, onions, and cilantro. Serrano or jalapeño peppers add a hint of heat, and avocado slices provide a creamy touch. Served with crunchy totopos (fried corn tortilla chips), the fresh, zesty flavours will transport you straight to the beach. (Pescatarian, GF)
Pozole Rojo
This ancient, pre-Columbian dish is the ultimate Mexican comfort food — a hearty soup that’s like a warm hug in a bowl. A rich and flavourful brilliant red Guajillo chile broth loaded with tender hominy corn, whole kernels of nixtamalized maize, the corn that would traditionally be ground to make masa for tortillas. It’s a joy to eat, adding on layers of flavours with an array of toppings — shredded pork (optional), crunchy radishes, fresh cucumbers, lettuce and the requisite squeeze of lime — that lets everyone customize their bowl to their liking. (Vegan, GF)
Polvorones & Cafe de Olla
Polvorones, also known as Mexican wedding cookies, are crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth shortbreads loaded with walnut pieces. Their buttery flavor and delicate texture make them a delightful pairing with a hot drink. Café de Olla is a traditional Mexican way of making coffee, infused with cinnamon sticks and sweetened with piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar).
