Culinary Historians of San Diego presents Authentic Aztec versus Conquistador Cuisine featuring Linda Civitello in the Neil Morgan Auditorium.
Corn, chiles, and chocolate are native foods. Carne, queso, and sugar were brought by the Spanish. What did the Aztecs eat before the Conquistadores came? How did they grow and cook It? How much of it survives and in what forms? This lecture may surprise the audience with the answers to these questions. Linda Civitello is the author of Cuisine and Culture: a History of Food and People, which won the Gourmand Award for Best Culinary History Book in English and which is used to teach the history of food in culinary schools throughout the U.S. and Canada.
