The three-time James Beard award-winning and Emmy nominated TV series “Pati’s Mexican Table” brings authentic Mexican flavors, colors, textures and warmth into your home. Pati Jinich is a former policy analyst, focused on Latin American politics and history, turned chef, cookbook author, and TV host whose true passion lies in sharing the tastes of her childhood and culinary adventures in her native country.

Season 2 Puebla

Season Two opens with Pati in a Lucha Libre (Mexican wrestling) ring, launching into a premier episode on dishes that have provoked food debates over the years, such as “red vs. green enchilada sauce” or “polvorones vs. Mexican wedding cookies.” This begins a season where Pati takes a much deeper look into the nuances of Mexican cuisine. Her main destination is the state of Puebla, one of Mexico’s main culinary hubs. A journey through its colonial capital takes us to the birthplace of many of Mexico’s most iconic dishes. Pati also goes back to Mexico City to visit the legendary floating gardens of Xochimilco, which leads to learning about the Mexican art of cooking with flowers. This season also welcomes a select group of special guests, including superstars of both modern and traditional Mexican cuisine.
