A group of anthropologists, historians, writers and biologists have published a book about the richness of Mexico's traditional cuisine, the first cooking to be included on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
The campaign organized by the Mexican Gastronomical Culture Conservatory, or CCGM, resulted in UNESCO declaring Mexico's cooking part of the world's cultural heritage Nov 16, 2010.The 180-page book honours Mexican cooking, focusing on what it brings to society."People don't pay attention to the richness we have. The idea is to celebrate it," De Orellana said, adding that the international success of traditional Mexican cooking "had not been bragged about enough".The book, titled "Elogio de la cocina mexicana. Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad" (Artes de Mexico, 2013), features contributions by 18 specialists, photographs, reproductions of pre-Columbian codexes and paintings by Mexican artists of traditional dishes.The authors examine different traditional ingredients, such as corn, avocado and cacao, as well as kitchen utensils like the "metate", a type of stone pestle and mortar.One of the contributors, historian Miguel Leon-Portilla, wrote a chapter titled "La antigua palabra de nuestros mayores" (The Ancient Word of Our Elders), which discusses "the forms and etiquette of the Aztecs toward food", De Orellana said.Artes de Mexico has been working for two decades to shed light on the country's cultural heritage, publishing several book collections and nearly 100 issues of a magazine that has featured the work of about 600 experts on art, history and popular culture.
