Oaxacalifornia
“La cocina es un lenguaje en el cual se puede expresar armonía,
creatividad, felicidad, belleza, poesía, complejidad, magia, humor,
provocación y cultura.” - Ferrán Adriá
Tradición y modernidad, una historia ancestral, marcada por la conquista y el mestizaje, en contraste con la crónica de un territorio definido por una sociedad joven, en una dinámica que involucra una condición fronteriza, las migraciones constantes y la creación de tradiciones que afiancen el arraigo a una nacionalidad, son elementos relevantes en la relación culinaria “Oaxacalifornia”.
