Cooking the carnitas – Part 1 and 2
After a successful market shop, we returned home to turn our gorgeous pork into delicious carnitas. Watch part one and two of the video to see it made (along with a few other goodies). Also, check out the carnitas and salsa verde recipes to make it yourself. For more great videos about life in the [...]
Shopping at Merida’s central market
Our friend Erich at intheyucatan.com just posted a video of Brent scouring Mérida’s central market for ingredients to make carnitas. Brent is preparing to lead a series of three-day culinary workshops on Mexican cuisine for MexicaChica Getaways, and thus we’re cooking up lots of dishes to see which ones will make the final cut. Although [...]
A brunch with no home
Regrettably, we must skip the remixto brunch this month. The owner of Casa Mexilio, our current venue, has decided to use the space for other purposes and so we are rendered homeless. Hopefully we’ll find a new venue soon so that we may return with more yummy dishes to explore. As we search, we are taking the opportunity [...]
Another brunch done
This is getting to be a regular thing. Our third remixto brunch was a hit. The pink mimosas flowed and the croque señora was a hit. Thanks to our friend Eric at In The Yucatan for shooting some video of the event (see below), and to Yesenia over at Girl Friday Mérida for lending a [...]
Bacon Candy
At our first brunch back in May, we served bacon, candied with piloncillo and chipotle chilies. It was a little experiment that turned out to be quite popular, so much so that we were lovingly scolded for not returning it to the menu for our last brunch. Well it’s back, this time in the form [...]
It’s like clockwork
Every month we set a schedule for how brunch will come together in the form of yummy morsels for our guests to enjoy. This month is no different. Last weekend, we finished testing our dishes and finalized the menu, yesterday we made a plan, and today a shopping list. At t-minus five days, our kitchen [...]
So what’ll it be?
Something’s up this month. Just one week after we sent out the announcement for this month’s brunch, we’re completely booked. Not that we’re complaining. It’s nice to know we’re loved. Freed from the chore of reservation taking, we can return our attentions to the final week of prep. We have some chipotle salsa to play [...]
Brunch July 25 – Order Up!
On Sunday, July 25, we’re returning to serve up mouthwatering brunch classics infused with modern Mexican flavor. This month’s menu will feature a croque señora (our twist on the French classic), the chef’s special chipotle chilaquiles (we guarantee it ain’t anything like your local cocina economica’s sloppy version) and gooey piña pop tarts, baked in [...]
Table for two at Costco?
Three times this week we’ve eaten in a nice restaurant and in every case we spotted a disturbing trend. Every main dish arrived garnished with cherry tomatoes. The same, plastic-looking cherry tomatoes. As it’s not tomato season in the Yucatan, we can safely assume that none of these products was grown locally, let alone regionally. [...]
Reviews are In
Posted below are some photos of some of the food, drinks and fun at last Sunday’s brunch. Alternatively, you can check out the latest Casual Restaurant Critic review of the event.
