Presented by: Rocio Carvajal Food anthropologist, culture & gastronomy educator. Episode 85 This episode features a conversation with Dr Caroline Dodds Pennock about her latest book: On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe combining a critical perspective that questions the historiography, narratives, and consequences of marginalizing the role of indigenous people in the colonial and post-colonial contexts, with a critical view of the complex history of Mexico's formation and the silenced voices and stories that continue to bleed through the cracks of power structures. We talk about the challenges of writing historical narratives about indigenous travelers, the types of historical research will we be looking at in the future, and what are the obstacles that decolonial historical research has to tackle to diversify and enrich present and future scholarship.

Presented by: Rocio Carvajal Food anthropologist, culture & gastronomy educator. Episode 82 Dr Pablo Sierra’s research contests that blackness is a decidedly foreign concept in the cultural history of the City of Puebla, an idealised urban centre whose narratives about Spanish baroque splendour have silenced the stories and presence of other ethnic groups, namely thousands of enslaved and free afro descendants. In this episode, we discuss the rise of Afromexican studies, Puebla’s role in the slave trade, the racialised configuration of the novohispanic society, and the challenges of critical historical research. We also talk about the case of an elite Afro-Indigenous couple in colonial Puebla, called Felipe Monsón y Mojica and Juana María de la Cruz that lived in the 17th century and rose to power and wealth as chilli tycoons. Their history reveals incredible details about social mobility, self-empowerment, interracial relations and even Puebla’s intertwined history with piracy in the Caribbean.

Episode 80 This year marks the 160th anniversary of the famous 5 de Mayo battle, but curiously this date means epic Mexican-themed celebrations in the USA, but why? In this epic episode, I explore the many events that lead to the famous battle of Puebla on that eventful day of May 5th, 1862 and the fascinating aftermath that changed the nation's history.

Presented by: Rocio Carvajal Food anthropologist, culture & gastronomy educator. Episode 79 Welcome to the season finale! In this episode, I discuss how early printed cookbooks in Mexico were tools of cultural propaganda. Through a form of culinary patriotism, cookbooks built the gastronomic identity of a newly independent nation promoting the adoption of behaviours, tastes and manners of the whiter middle and upper classes. In light of the aggressive exploitation of cultural expressions, contemporary discussions are contesting the dated and monolithic idea of “a Mexican gastronomy” that has erased and silenced the culinary identity and food practices of indigenous communities and ethnic minorities.

Presented by: Rocio Carvajal Food anthropologist, culture & gastronomy educator. Episode 78 In this episode I discuss my guest’s new book: “The Last Emperor of Mexico: The Dramatic Story of the Habsburg Archduke Who Created a Kingdom in the New World.” This work is so much more than the story of Maximilian I, it really captures the zeitgeist of a bygone era that is fundamental in the history of Mexico with deep connections to the global geopolitical dynamics of the 19th c. We cross examine the historical events and view under different perspectives the motives, interests and consequences of this bizarre and fascinating episode that brought together Europe’s most important political forces and the ambitions of Mexican conservatives that paved the way for the short ill lived Habsburg empire of Mexico. ……………………………………………………………… Links mentioned on this episode: https://twitter.com/EdwardShawcross https://amzn.to/35oTOgw Listen to this episode on the history of 5 de Mayo: https://tinyurl.com/yb3ausw4 Read these articles by Dr. Shawcross: https://perspectivemag.co.uk/reputations-ferdinand-maximilian/https://tinyurl.com/yctq964x ……………………………………………………………… Get my books: shorturl.at/kuT34 Book a food tour in Puebla! https://tinyurl.com/ydkthwfu Newsletter: eepurl.com/cV5AsH Twitter: twitter.com/chipotlepodcast + https://twitter.com/rocio_carvajalc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rocio.carvajalc/ email: hello@passthechipotle.com web: https://tinyurl.com/yehq8xyq Youtube: https://tinyurl.com/y9ot9a57 🎧 Check my other podcast: Hungry Books https://anchor.fm/hungry-books

Presented by: Rocio Carvajal Food history writer, cook and author. Episode 73 This episode explores different aspects of the cultural production of food in traditional indigenous cultures of Mexico, and some of them are related to preparation methods as explored by the“culinary triangle” of raw, cooked and rotten. And other aspects focus on the creation of meanings, practices, attitudes and uses of food in pre-Columbian and contemporary societies. I want to get you very excited about the many different ways of analysing food that helps us see culinary traditions in a new light and broaden our possibilities of exploration and understanding of them. ………………………………………………..

From Hungry Books Podcast @hungrybookspodcast Presented by: Rocio Carvajal Food history writer, cook and author. This episode reviews: “Eggs or Anarchy, The remarkable story of the man tasked with the impossible: to feed a nation at war” By William Sitwell The setting is Britain at war: WWII looms over Europe and Churchill is at the brink of becoming the world’s most admired Prime Minister. And you might think that the war was fought and won in the fields, and war rooms, but it was actually a combination of Homefront strategies and the feistiness of a man who made sure every briton at home and abroad was fed and strong to fight and survive. This book follows the events that lead to the creation and operation of The Ministry of Food and the man who shaped it: Frederick James Marquis 1st Earl of Woolton. Commonly known as Lord Woolton. A man of humble origins compared to the Westminster elite, used his entrepreneurial genius and firm ideals of social justice to run a clock work machine to ensure that Britain survived Hitler’s attempt to starve it by ensuring supplies, rationing and distributing them. This is a book about the work of one of Britain’s most transcendent leaders whose name has almost been forgotten in history.

Episode 68 In this conversation we explore the little-known world of religious institutions in the colonial period, and the ways in which friars, priests and nuns impacted the culture and life of Mexico. We talk about how the kitchens of female convents became a cultural catalyst where the food traditions, ingredients and techniques reflected the very diverse colonial society and set the foundation of a complex, rich and long-lasting gastronomic legacy. Dr Peralta is a renown food historian who has authored several books in Spanish and writes extensively about Mexico’s culinary culture.
