Una aventura culinaria en México
A Mexican culinary adventure
Author: Anabelle Rossell Aguilar, Reyna Jaime Félix
Photographer: Giovanni Simeone
DESCRIPTION
Baja California is uncompromising. It is a 1,220-kilometer-long peninsula of desert and cactus, with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Sea of Cortez on the other, beaten by strong winds, eroded by gigantic waves, and made incandescent by hot summers! Not Food for Old Men is a gastronomic and photographic adventure to explore this region suspended between the US and Mexico. The lobster, marlin, octopus, chiles, and ribs are the cornerstones of a kitchen at the “end of the world,” often overlooked and for this reason even more authentic.
