Your MesaZona blogger wanted to take the time to honor one of the great chefs in the Pantheon of Mexican food culture: Patricia Quintana.
The opening image you see is from a posting on Twitter:
#DEP Patricia Quintana, cocinera, escritora, profesora y empresaria. Entre sus numerosos libros: "La cocina de los dioses del agua" y "México de ida y vuelta".
Permitid que destaque su última frase en Instagram: 'Si quieres viajar, lee; si quieres escribir, viaja'.#Gastrónomas
She was an energetic promoter, teacher, and Investigadora gastronómica, escritora y empresaria Mexicana.
Viva Patricia Quintana! Ahora celebramos su vida . . .
