Today it’s Mexico’s Independence day! We are celebrating with a little tribute to these very special items in the shop that tell the stories about Mexico’s dynamic and colorful culinary heritage. 1) The legendary Aloha Cafe welcomed travelers into Tijuana with their tequila and gin cocktails beginning in Prohibition days in the 1920s. The Cafe operated throughout the 20th century before it burned down in 2011. This souvenir photograph holder is from the 1940s 🌴 2) Inspired by Mexico’s wonderful food culture, American poet, Ronald Johnson wrote the Aficionado’s Southwestern Cookbook in 1968 combining classic Mexican recipes with traditional Southwestern cuisine to create what would become a true classic cookbook of regional fare that is still remains a beloved favorite. 🌶 3) Scenes from old Mexico adorn the the pockets of the vintage blue and white checkered apron. 🌵 4) In the 1930s, American pottery, Edwin M. Knowles created this serving bowl in the Bench pattern (now a rarity ) which features Mexico’s artistic achievements highlighting maracas, cactus, rugs and colorful earthenware pottery 🎨 5) In 1965, Jan Aaron and Georgine Sachs Salom published The Art of Mexican Cooking after traveling all over every region in Mexico gathering authentic recipes and cooking instructions from passed down family favorites to elegant hotel fare. They researched, interviewed and cooked their way through countless kitchens from the most humble to the most lauded in order to return stateside so that they could adapt all they learned for American kitchens. 300 pages later this cookbook shares the most interesting recipes along with stories of history, culture and adventure. 🇲🇽 Happy Independence Mexico! Cheers and thank you for all the color and flavor you’ve added to the culinary industry. ♥️ - - - - - #mexicanindependenceday #mexicancooking #mexicanfood #alohacafe #mexicankitchen #vintagemexico #oldmexico https://www.instagram.com/p/B2e2PjsArlv/?igshid=nfzj2atomci0
