At Rosepepper our culinary focus is Sonora style cuisine. This style of cooking includes traditional Mexican ingredients such as beans, corn potatoes and pepper, as well as a variety of outside influences that have become ingrained into the the culture of the country. Sonora style eliminates the "heat" from the spices, but leaves the intense flavors.
The different regions of Mexico have their own unique style when it comes to food. Several things factor into their diverse culinary styles: geography, native culture, climate and varying degrees of outside influences. Mexican food is basically indian in origin, but has been majorly influenced by Spain and France. When Spanish conquistadors invaded Mexico in the 1520s they brought with them plants, animal and spices that were foreign to the native people. These new discoveries eventually became incorporated into Mexican cuisine.
Cuisines - From Region To Region
Coastal regions have been greatly influenced by the Caribbean. Their style is uncomplicated, simple and fresh. Seafood and tropical fruits are the mainstays of this culture.
Central Mexico is something of a melting pot of cultures and ingredients. It is common for people of this region to take a foreign dish and customize it and make it their own. This leads to unexpected and innovative creations, which are regionally exclusive. Due to their central location, they have access to a wider variety of ingredients than remote areas.
Of all the areas in Mexico's Southern Region, the Yucatan Peninsula may be the most exciting for food lovers. Their history is a sweet one, as Mayan people have been practicing beekeeping there for thousands of years. The cuisine there is more focused on the sweet than on the spicy.
Northern Mexico is where you want to go if you are craving comfort food, high in fats and starches. When Americans think of cliché Mexican foods, they are probably from this region.
