Hi Pati,
I just discovered your show and I absolutely love it and ALL your recipes. I binged watched all day! Lol.
My family is from Torreón and we visit all parts of Mexico. I love Mexican food and my family loves cooking. I can’t wait to try many of your recipes.
I saw an episode where you went to Mazatlán and sat with a friend that owned her own restaurant. You had shrimp soup with more of a clear broth. I don’t see a similar recipe on your website.
Can you send me that recipe?
Happy Holidays!

Thank you for tuning in, Gerrie! I don’t have a recipe for that soup, since it was a field piece…but I hope you enjoy lots of my recipes.

Hi Patti,
How do I go about adding vegetables, rice and fish to the broth for a fish soup?
I watched the episode and saw your dish was more rice heavy & im trying to make a consume type soup.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Dear Pati,
Two weeks ago, I discovered your website by searching for a seafood broth. I made the broth and have used it to prepare a seafood soup. This recipe has worked great for me and the broth was rich and tasty. Thank you for this recipe.
If the broth was great, I am very sure the rest of the recipes are excellent as well. I will incorporate a few in my cooking. Again, Thank You!

I found your show on PBS for the first time today. Your son said something about the delicious chicken. I had chicken defrosted and wanted to try your recipe. Unable to find it on the website. I guess I will just view other programs who do have their recipes available.
