In Season One, Pati introduces us to the Mexican experience. Each episode finds Pati in her home kitchen preparing a series of dishes centered on a singular Mexican trait, for example using versatile ingredients like avocado, tomatillos and vanilla in a variety of ways, or different takes on crowd-pleasing dishes such as quesadillas and wrapped foods, or exploring the foods of the Mexican Revolution and dishes created in convents. In between, she visits street-food vendors, open-air markets, and cultural landmarks in her childhood hometown of Mexico City. As she cooks, she not only shares important cooking skills, techniques and basics about the ingredients, but also personal family stories, traditions and legends behind the food.
