“La cocina es un lenguaje en el cual se
puede expresar
armonía, creatividad, felicidad, belleza, po
esía, complejidad, magia, humor, provoca
ción y cultura.” - Ferrán Adriá
2. Tradición y
modernidad, una historia
ancestral, marcada por la
conquista y el mestizaje, en
contraste con la crónica de un
territorio definido por una
sociedad joven, en una
dinámica que involucra una
condición fronteriza, las
migraciones constantes y la
creación de tradiciones que
afiancen el arraigo a una
nacionalidad, son elementos
relevantes en la relación
culinaria “Oaxacalifornia”.
