Calling all foodies! You are invited to a one-off dinner showcasing Mexican food, ingredients, techniques and recipes. Chefs Rodrigo Quirarte and Luis Guajardo will share the cultural history of each dish and explain how traditional food relates to everyday contemporary life. From abuela’s (grandma’s) home cooking through to sampling some street-food specialities – you’ll get to experience it all.

Guacamole with lime-toasted grasshoppers and home-made corn chips
