I have a series of videos of the cooks of Oaxaca and here is a special one. Normally, I filmed the most famous cooks from the best restaurants. I would spend all day with them, from early in the morning, when we would go to various markets, through a day of cooking and then, at the end of the day, eating everything they had cooked. I know, it's tough work, but....
This is a restaurant up in the mountains in a village called Cuajimoloya, which is famous for its mushrooms. All kinds of mushrooms. The village is about 40k northeast of the city and is 25k up from the weaving village of Teotitlan del Vaille. The food was very simple, but absolutely delicious. It was a blast to film this woman just like the cooks from all those five star places.

Love the film: the cook, her beautiful and strong arms, simple tools to make so deliciously looking soup.
I also have to admit that cute white fellow (the sheep)and his voice in the beginning and the end of the movie made me laugh....for the first time in a last couple of weeks, and I am so very grateful for that.
