MEXICO–ONE PLATE AT A TIME WITH RICK BAYLESS
Episode 7: Kidding Around



Rick looks at some of the special foods that every kid finds irresistible—and that adults never quite outgrow. From the familiar (quesadilla) to the unexpected (a Mexican pasta called fideos) Rick and daughter Lanie journey from marketplace to a family home in Oaxaca, exploring the role of children in Mexico along the way. In Chicago, Rick and Lanie work side by side to create their own favorite Sopa de Fideos, then team up for the delicious powdery cookies called Polverones. They also take a whack at a piñata, revealing a fascinating history behind the ancient tradition.
