BBC Two - Rick Stein's Road To Mexico, Series 1, Episode 6

Rick Stein's latest travels take him to Mexico's culinary capital Oaxaca.

Rick Stein's latest travels take him to Mexico's culinary capital Oaxaca, home to Mexico's national cheese queso oaxacana.

For Mexicans, their most revered dishes come from the south, and their Mecca is undeniably Oaxaca, where locals still dress in traditional costume, bringing to life the enduring descriptions of writers like DH Lawrence, who fell in love with the area. This is the land that coined the phrase 'people of the corn', the former site of the desert empire of the Zapotecs and the home of Mexico's national cheese queso oaxacana. Totally off the beaten track and across the Chinantla Mountains, the muggy breezes of the Mexican Gulf transform eastern Oaxaca from desert to a tropical paradise. Rick delights in exploring this hidden land where you can smell the tropical fruit from roadside stalls long before they come into sight, where vanilla still grows wild, and cacao orchards are harvested to make superb chocolate.
