Recipes: Mexico City

Mabel Gray's most popular cocktail and Chef's killer guacamole

Hey, friends! Below are a few recipes inspired by Chef’s travels to Mexico. Some of these dishes have been featured on Mabel Gray menus, some are more mainstays of Chef’s pantry arsenal. As someone who cooks at home a lot, and has recreated Chef’s written recipes in the past: he is like the prototypical Italian ‘nonna’ who does everything by feel and memory, never writing anything down. These recipes are meant to be adjusted based on your personal preferences. Use your gut and your senses, taste as you go, and most importantly - read the recipe all the way through before you grocery shop. We believe in you! ~ Paulina
