I always love when I can add another favorite to my lists and this week the absolutely wonderful documentary Diana Kennedy: Nothing Fancy was added. I loved my introduction to Diana Kennedy, enough that I’m determined to start cooking again since our restaurant days are on hold, and “Diana Kennedy: Nothing Fancy provides an intimate look at the leading expert on Mexican cuisine. The author of nine acclaimed cookbooks and a two-time James Beard Award winner, Diana is called the “Julia Child of Mexico,” but the feisty cook prefers “The Mick Jagger of Mexican Cuisine.”
The Mick Jagger of Mexican cuisine is quite the description.

A new name for me, and I’ll be following up – the Julia Child (or Mick Jagger!) of Mexican cuisine? Count me in!

I loved the feisty woman and the documentary! I found her life to be fascinating and I bought the book and a cookbook and have been busy reading articles. She’s also referred to as a culinary anthropologist, but prefers ethno-gastronomer. She lives a sustainable lifestyle and I wish the documentary was longer and had included more about her thoughts on the world and her travels throughout Mexico.🙂
