When we first moved in, we hired the cleaner who has been cleaning the apartment for donkeys years to come each week and tidy the place. She is a really great person and fun to chat to. Early on we were chatting about cooking and ended up getting her to come round once a week to show us how to cook a classic Mexican dish. We go back and forth beforehand by whatsapp to agree a dish and what ingredients I need to buy before. We have made all sorts during our time in Oaxaca; mole, soup, tacos, chilaquiles, consommé, tomales, enchiladas, pozole and my favourite chilli rellenos (stuffed chillies). We have learnt all sorts of different cooking techniques such as frying pasta and rice before boiling; boiling tomatoes then blending and sieving it; using a comal to warm tortillas and washing chicken then boiling it. I’m looking forward to buying a comal when back in England.
