Celebrate these trade routes that were established many millennia ago and learn how to make a delicious Mole (chocolate and chile sauce) featuring ancestral ingredients that existed in the Americas prior to any European contact with ingredients introduced by the Spanish. This is a must culinary journey for anyone interested in the history of the region.”
