Pati’s three sons are in Mexico, and Pati wants them to experience the true essence of the Yucatan. First stop, they climb the ancient ruins of Uxmal and discover how advanced the ancient Maya civilisations were. After an exhaustive exploration, the boys cool off in one of the thousands of hidden cenotes (swimming holes). And to fill their bellies, the boys eat the best tamales they’ve ever tasted along with the region’s signature dish, Cochinita Pibíl, which uses the ancient technique of cooking the meat with heated rocks buried underground. Back at home, Pati is giving her own twist to this honored dish and makes it super easy for a busy household.
