Episode Synopsis

Chef Erin Gomez Danielson is a founding collaborator with Frutas y Verduras Mexico.  In her six years and counting as a resident of Merida, Yucatan, she has learned about local foods from her in-laws, neighbors, market vendors and Susi Noh-Un with whom she exchanges recipes, skills and knowledge, but most of all, perspective.  In this episode,  Margret chats with Erin about the Mayan 'tree spinach' called chaya, how she approached a festive dish to impress the in-laws, and about our 'mascot' the zapote negro and how to transform it from humble to rich.Making Zapote Negro 'Chocolate Pudding' with Erin:https://youtu.be/8J5Y8jLxOQACasa Misterio on Instagram:@casamisteriomerida
