Eva Longora: Searching for Mexico

Product Details

Move over Stanley Tucci, Eva Longoria is ready to take viewers on a journey through Mexico. Join Longoria across the lands of her ancestors as she explores how Mexico's rich culture, landscape and history that have helped shape its cuisine, loved the world over. Longoria surveys the cutting-edge gastronomic fare of Mexico City; discovers Mayan influences in Yucatan cuisine, including the slow-cooked cochinita pibil; and ventures to the home of Latin America’s chocolate trade, Oaxaca, where she samples the velvety chocolate mole. As Longoria enjoys a festive carne asada in Nuevo Leon, traditional birria stew in Jalisco and walks in the footsteps of her own ancestor, Lorenzo Longoria, in the exact spot in Veracruz where he arrived 400 years ago, she unlocks the secrets behind Mexico's most treasured and sometimes surprising dishes.
