By 1821, military commander Agustin de Iturbide (who had switched sides from the Spanish Army) had signed the Treaty of Cordoba granting Mexico its independence. En route to Mexico City he stopped in the town of Puebla where a celebratory feast was held, and the nuns of the Santa Monica convent sought to prepare a special dish using what local ingredients were in season, like pomegranate and walnuts. The result was Chiles en Nogada (stuffed poblano peppers in walnut sauce), and it has remained a popular dish for 200 years. Since it incorporates the colors of the Mexican flag—red, white, and green—this labour-intensive dish is considered a very patriotic and festive recipe. Join Chef Erika Araujo of Ixiim as she shares this delicious piece of Mexican history and culture with you.

Indian and Persian cultures have been intertwined for centuries, part of the migration of Islam Eastward through the Indian subcontinent, culminating in the Mughal Empire of the 16-19th C. Persian was the official language of most Indian Muslim dynasties, and was also the dominant aristocratic language of poetry and literature. Centuries of trade in spices, ingredients and ideas are evident in the cuisines of both cultures, and showcased in this Indo-Persian menu by Chef Romina Arya of Auth Foods.
