What we do is to find the really cool local places and then to plan our trips to be sure and include them.

Hotels like in the video above in Chihuahua City- an old historic mansion that is filled with Pancho Villa era pieces. The hospitality is supreme.

Eateries like Estelas Place in Creel….I have actually never met another person in the Copper area who knows of this place. It is truly local. No menu, no prices, no English. Just good food. Manuela is there early in the morning with a fire ready and some coffee going. The food is simple and hearty and what is on the stove (wood stove) is what you get.

He began talking about what we do on our trips…

Flor de Calabacitas bring fragrance and flavor to Chihuahua homes this time of year.

 

The unique foods of the Norteño area and Copper Canyon include the lovely and fragrant squash blossoms….flor de calabacitas. They are harvested in the late summer time when the rains push the brown/tan valleys and mountains into a verdant miracle.

The Fall is a great time for The Blue Corn Express culinary trip for many reasons…one of which is that we can enjoy this culinary delight.

The aroma is light as these yellow flowers are gathered in baskets early in the day. Their use is in canned vegetables, with eggs, in soups …anywhere you want a light addition to a flavorful dish.

Flor de Calabacitas are readily available in the markets early in the day - especially in the rainy season.

(We have just posted a video of this new offering on youtube- take a look!)

I am contacting chefs and schools who offer cooking classes around the country and the idea is for these innovative chefs to offer this exciting new trip to their clients- a real business builder.

The core idea of the “Blue Corn Express” is to give you an excellent Mexican cooking experience right in one of the world’s unique food spots. We will offer options of a session at a chef’s school in Chihuahua City, lots of experiences in local kitchens and off-the-path restaurants and homes in the Sierra Madres, as well as the incredible experience on the world renowned train through Copper Canyon.

 As always with Authentic Copper Canyon you will have an incredible experience saturated with our values- 1.Authenticity 2. Quality 3. Collaboration with local Mexicans. There are a few pics on food in our photo gallery….and also a great new video on youtube!

There are just six rooms and each is uniquely decorated in period fashion. The building was restored by Santiago and his wife Wendy (a prof in Architechtural History) and they act as personal hosts for each group. There is good reason for this place (nestled in the heart of the rejuvinating historic district) being rated #1 on Trip Advisor!

Check out their cool site.
