Who doesn’t love sausage? Chorizo, the Mexican version, is a deep-burnt-reddish explosion of fresh, moist, exotically seasoned flavor. When it’s fried, it becomes crisp and incredibly savory. This episode will look at the difference between Mexican chorizo sausage and its Spanish, Central American and South American cousins.

I must admit, since childhood I have not been able to stomach any kind of bean or pea. Hot spices burn my throat severely. Therefore, I am not a lover of Mexican–or any Hispanic–cooking. However,I love to cook, am always looking for new ideas, and therefore, I would not miss Pati’s cooking show on PBS for anything! The many valuable lessons I have learned from her techniques never disappoint. I always come away feeling my time with Pati was well spent. Besides who wouldn’t love her? Her warm personality and enthusiasm are uplifting and I look forward to our Saturday visits as I would a dearest friend.
