Eat Mexico’s newest food tours, in Puebla

So I’ve been holding onto this news for a few weeks now, but I can finally tell you officially: Eat Mexico has launched culinary tours in Puebla!

We’re pairing up with All About Puebla, an English-language website that’s run by my friend Rebecca Smith Hurd. She’s an amazing Puebla resource and an all-around excellent person. Rebecca will be leading the tours.

As of now, we’re offering two routes — Chiles en Nogada and A Taste of Puebla. The former includes a visit to the Ex-Convento de Santa Mónica, where chiles en nogada were created, and a market visit to learn about the ingredients. It’s capped off with a chile en nogada cooking class with renowned Puebla chef Alonso Hernández.

The Taste of Puebla tour offers an introduction to Puebla’s more popular casual fare, including all the gorgeous goodies I blogged about a few weeks ago: pelonas, tacos árabes, cemitas and more.

You can find more details, including prices and reservation info, on our (sort of newly designed) Eat Mexico website.

If you or anyone you know is visiting Puebla, I’d love it if you kept us in mind. Note that the Chiles en Nogada Tour will be offered in August and September only, in keeping with the seasonality of the ingredients.

On a personal note, I am really excited about this collaboration and for stepping out beyond Mexico City with the food tours. My business turns two years old this month. Feeling like a proud mom.
