The Michoacan File

For over 300 years, Mexico was the place where European and Asian trade routes collided leaving behind a vast and strong gastronomic culture with an enormous recipe repertoire. In 2010, UNESCO designated Mexican food as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and, for the first time ever, a gastronomic culture was to be protected and elevated to the same level as art or science. Exploring through past and present -- and told from the viewpoint of culinary experts, anthropologists, and traditional cooks -- Bernardo Arsuaga’s fascinating, timely and culturally significant documentary details the origin, history, and impact of Mexican food on modern society. 91mins.
