Episodes
At one time, the henequen trade made Merida, the capital of the Yucatan, one of the richest cities in the world. Journey with Rick into the Merida market stalls for a fresh look at the blending of Mayan traditions with Spanish influences.
There are days when you want to take it easy and enjoy your favorite comfort food. On other days? You want to turn up the volume. For Rick, that means breaking out the chiles, from the Yucatan's habanero to the hot yellow xcatic chiles.
Water is a precious resource in life, especially in the Yucatan. Follow Rick deep underground to explore underground rivers and cenotes (sinkholes) throughout the peninsula. Being in all that water makes Rick hungry for one thing- seafood.
Cochinita pibil is a slow-cooked, banana leaf-wrapped pork specialty from the Yucatan that Rick finds inspiring, and he takes that inspiration to its pinnacle by digging a brick fire pit in his backyard and slow-roasting an entire pig.
There is nothing like a tall glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice, naranjada as it is called in Mexico. Rick takes us on a citrus groove to learn the ins and outs of fresh juice in savory, lip-smacking dishes throughout the Yucatan.
Rick Bayless, chef, travels to Mexico, samples food, and then returns to his kitchen to teach you how to cook the same dishes.
