The earliest memories I have take place at my grandmother's kitchen. Whenever we visited my grandparents, the first thing that would hit us when they opened the door to their home were the unmistakable smells of Mexican dishes that my grandmother had prepared for our family.  As we moved past the living room and into the warm and sometimes out-right hot kitchen, we would find my grandmother cooking one of the many dishes she always had ready for us. 

 

The deep, warm, and comforting scents of Mexican spices used to make Carne Guisada, Pollo con Calabaza, Flautas de pollo, Cochinita Pibil, Mole, Menudo, Tamales, and Chiles Rellenos, accompanied with rice and beans, floated throughout the house.  These wonderful dishes were all placed on top of a humble wooden white table that was as inviting as the smell of fresh garlic, onions, chiles, and cumin that are the hallmarks of genuine Mexican cuisine. Those are the memories that I have cherished the most and I have strived to create the same atmosphere, with the same smells and flavors, to create memories for my own family.  It has always been my wish that the new generation of my family would learn the different recipes and methods that I learned from my grandmother and mother, so they could continue the traditions that have defined and held my beloved family together for generations.

 

And now, I want to include every one of you and give you a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine based on recipes and techniques that I learned from my grandmother and mother.  I have carefully prepared different weekly menus for you to enjoy.  

 

La Mesa Blanca, named in memory of the humble table that my grandmother used to serve us her delicious dishes in her kitchen, is a weekly food delivery service where you will choose from 3 or 5 meals (or more!) to fulfill your lunch and/or dinner needs.  All our meals are freshly made with authentic Mexican ingredients and spices.  There are no preservatives, no artificial ingredients, no harmful chemicals . . . . . just fresh and pure ingredients using the same recipes and techniques my grandmother and mother taught me.  

 

So, enjoy the taste of authentic Mexico and let the flavors bring back warm family memories, or let it transport you to the country where love is shared through the cuisine that has stood for centuries.
