Building Blocks and Other Chef Secrets - a podcast by Heritage Radio Network

On the season 3 premiere of Cooking In Mexican from A to Z, Zarela and Aarón go back to basics. They sit down together, mother & son, to discuss the foundational principles of the cooking. These are flavor principles they use every day in the kitchen, in a wide variety of dishes. They also sprinkle in a love letter to hatch chiles, memories of what Aarón was like as a child, and some previews of what's to come on this season of the show.

Some of the flavor principles they focus on include: recipes for Zarela's Chipotle Base and Aarón's variation "Chipotle Love," multiple uses of a roasted poblano, garlic, and onion mixture, and numerous ideas for tomatillo and adobo sauces. Plus, Zarela shares some of her mother's favorite cooking bases from Zarela's childhood on the ranch.
