Chocolate Flan, Cactus Sorbet and Guava Doughnuts: The Amazing World of Mexican Desserts

From Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street Radio Milk Street Radio

This week, we taste the sweeter side of Mexican cuisine with chef Fany Gerson. Traveling from Mexico City to Veracruz to Oaxaca, we explore regional confections like chili-flavored paletas and guava and cheese doughnuts. Plus, we take a seat at the Noir Bar with writer and television host Eddie Muller, who infuses classic cocktails with a cinematic twist; Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett of “A Way With Words” unpack the history hidden in your spice cabinet; and we prepare a very crispy Korean Fried Chicken. (Originally aired June 2, 2023.) Get the recipe for Korean Fried Chicken here. Listen to Milk Street Radio on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify
