Mexico's Coastal and Desert Culinary Landscape

Mexico s Coastal and Desert Culinary Landscape

One country in particular has almost a surfeit of amazing seashore bound by desert and thorny scrub, and some of the most under-appreciated food outside its own borders and perhaps a few neighbouring countries/states.I’m referring of course to Mexico and unfortunately I’ve heard many people describe the food as one note; hot and windy.

However, when you see the huge variety of food available in the local markets and the multitude of ways you can alter the taste of a dish by the simple substitution of one ingredient and you’ll realise that Mexican food is brilliant for us adventure travellers – lots of flavour, and nutrition with minimal ingredients, long lasting (beans, dried chiles, citrus fruit, maize flour – for tortillas), and healthy (loads of fresh fruits & veg, pulses, chiles – again!) assuming you go easy on the cheese and flan.

  • West to the Sea: My Epic Trail Running Journey

    I’m short. I’m hairy, I have no sense of style and I look nothing like a runner. The phrase ‘muffin-top’ accurately describes both my physique and my sense of style. But I do have one thing going for me: opportunity. I’ve had the opportunity to run the length of Argentina. I’ve had the opportunity to run from Walvis Bay to P.E. and recently, I had the opportunity to run across Canada. Over 15,000km’s of trail and ne’er a step repeated. Every runner’s fantasy. There are several reasons why I
