@soldamiani I was looking at the street food one and the taco one. I have some sort of picnic next week and the golden tacos (or flautas) look like an interesting option
@soldamiani estuve viendo el de comida callejera y el de tacos. Tengo una especie de picnic la semana que viene y los tacos dorados (o flautas) parecen una opción interesante

I have a question… ☺ is it acceptable for the #MexicanChallenge to use local ingredients and adapt the dishes from the courses if we don’t have all the authentic Mexican products? And in that case, can we also be creative with our version, or should we stick strictly to the original recipes?
1-

@lanamihajlovic Absolutely yes! 😊
You can adapt with local ingredients if you can’t find the original ones — we totally understand that not everyone has access to all Mexican products. Just try to stick to the core of the recipe as much as possible, since Chef Paloma Ortiz will be judging the challenge based on technique and respect for the dish.
That said… a little creative twist is more than welcome 🌶️✨ Surprises that show personality and intention always stand out!
We can’t wait to see your version — bring on the Serbian-Mexican fusion! 💥

✨ Coming back to the kitchen ✨
It’s been a while since I last shared something here.
This year has been full of challenges, changes, and moments when I simply lost my creative energy.
Cooking and plating have always been my way to express myself — but when your heart is heavy or your mind is busy fixing things, it’s hard to cook with soul.
Of course, I kept cooking every day, but without the spark… without the joy of plating beautifully and capturing the moment.
Now I feel ready to return — one dish, one photo at a time — because cooking is my language, my therapy, my passion. ❤️

@orsolya-csernak Welcome back, Orsi💫
Your words hit deep — it’s powerful (and so human) how you’ve turned the quiet into a comeback, one heartfelt spoon at a time. This broth looks rich, honest, and full of soul — just like your journey back to creativity.
And… if this is your return dish, imagine what’s coming next! 😉
If you feel ready, we’d love to see you join the #MexicanChallenge — you’ve got until tonight at 23:59 CET to post! Let’s celebrate your return with sabor y comunidad 🌶️🇲🇽
