Experience the unique culture and customs of the Mexican state of Oaxaca, a region that offers dramatic beauty, an ancient heritage, and some of Mexico’s best food.

Visit a traditional Zapotec village and meet a family of weavers as they take advantage of indigenous ingredients using recipes passed down by their ancestors. Journey a few miles outside of Oaxaca City to uncover the tradition of stone soup, a dish local men have made to honor women since the pre-Columbian era.

Back in the Gourmet test kitchen, executive food editor Kemp Minifie shares a rich and tangy recipe for beef in a spicy tomatillo sauce, adapted from a dish she discovered during a trip to Oaxaca.

I just saw this, it was very good.

Aside from the obvious fact that the Zapoted are the most ancient, still existing tribes of Mexico,
if you're a "foodie", you'll enjoy it even more.....
