De la mano de esta familia pionera en la preservación y protección de diversas variedades de chiles mexicanos, haremos un recorrido por el Mercado de Jamaica y una degustación de platillos cuyo ingrediente principal es el chile, maridados con vinos blancos y champagne, bebidas reconocidas por ser un exquisito acompañamiento para las recetas especiadas y picantes tan celebradas en México.
Podremos acercarnos a la forma en que se nixtamaliza el maíz y se preparan las tortillas. Conoceremos uno de los oficios que están a punto de extinguirse y que regaló a la cultura artesanal mexicana una enorme cantidad de piezas y diseños funcionales, utilizados en la gran mayoría de los hogares: los tuleros.
