Contemporary cuisine has set out to make a sea change in its sources of inspiration. Now, cooking creation looks back to the past, to the classics, to the genesis of tastes. And it’s in that look into the past where the most genuine, the most truthful dishes come into being, the ones that sum up the entire gastronomic heritage resulting from the encounter between the Old World and the New World.
A good case in point is the Mexican city of Guanajuato, chosen to be the Iberian-American capital of gastronomic culture in 2015. This distinction –granted for the first time to a Latin American destination- recognizes the rescue of pre-Hispanic ingredients, the cuisine vocation inherited from our ancestors, the fusion of traditional food and the adaptations of haute cuisine worldwide.
Excelencias Gourmet joins the joyful celebration on this appointment that underscores the values of traditional cuisine, its history and symbolic character; because just like blood and flesh once melted into each other, so did seasonings. At the end of the day, gastronomy continues to be one of the best communication means among peoples.
