The critically acclaimed Public Television series, Mexico: One Plate at a Time with Rick Bayless, brings to life the foods, the flavors, the stories, and the fun of Mexico.
The Baja California peninsula boasts a climate reminiscent of the Mediterranean Sea. Rick makes tacos with ingredients from the gardens of the Rancho La Puerta spa, and meets up with Chefs Miguel Angel Guerrero Yagües and Jair Tellez.
Three local Tijuana foodies take Rick on a taco crawl. Experience arrachera tacos, suadero tacos, sautéed and fried shrimp tacos, steamed tacos, and smoked salmon tacos. At home, Rick creates a taco feast for a casual backyard cookout.
Rick is always up for a cooking challenge, and after a day on the waters of the Sea of Cortez, Rick grills dinner for the group on the beach of Espiritu Santo island. To stock up on supplies Rick shops in the La Paz market for ingredients.
Join Rick and winemaker Hugo d'Acosta as they toast the world-class wines of Baja California Norte. Hugo first introduces Rick his Casa de Piedra wines before moving on to Tres Mujeres, L.A. Cetto, and the San Rafael Winery.
Ever travel to a tourist mecca and wonder what the locals eat? Join Rick and his friend Hugo to find the best Mexican food in Los Cabos. First stop is the municipal market in San Jose del Cabo, then they enjoy carnitas at Los Michoacános.
Rick and local guide Luis Garduno of REDTours venture out on a skiff to learn about sustainable fishing on Magdalena Bay. They catch up with local lobster fishermen and clam divers and follow that up with shore lunch on Isla de Magdalena.
Ever dream of owning a winery? Don and Tru Miller made their dreams come true when they built Adobe Guadalupe. Rick's dream of cooking in their stunning kitchen, with its handmade wood-fired oven, comes true this season. Dream on.
There is a long heritage of good food in Tijuana. The city has an amazing taco, culture and is the birthplace of the Caesar salad. Today, Tijuana boasts one of the top culinary schools in the country and some of the best chefs in Mexico.
Fish tacos embody Ensenada's history: Fresh fish from pristine waters encased in crispy batter influenced by Asian immigrants, topped with Spanish-inspired creamy sauces, wrapped in a very Mexican corn tortilla, and spiked with chile.
Many of us experienced our first Mexican beer on a beach with a squeeze of lime. Now we are happy to see a beer revolution rumbling in the Baja peninsula. Rick takes us from the Tecate brewery to the Tijuana brewery. Salud-
