I’m  sure  many  of  you  have  heard,  seen  and  even  enjoyed  tequila  and  mezcal  on  many occasions but do you know what’s difference between them? Is it the taste? the colour? The flavour? If you are wondering how to know which type of tequila or mezcal is the right one for you, don’t worry, I give you a survival guide to know your Mexican drinks!

A little known story about the British diaspora is that of the Cornish miners that settled in the industrial town of Real del Monte in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico, in the 1800s. They not only brought their skills and technology but their delicious food and their favourite sport too! click here to get the recipe to make your own Mexican-Cornish pastes!

Aztec emperors had a very good life, they indulged on anything that would take their fancy, even if that meant a big operation to have dozens of men running to harvest fresh snow from the volcanoes to prepare sorbets! listen to this amazing story and get inspired to make your own Aztec-style treats.
