Presentation and Traditional Mexican Bread Tasting

Mariana Martin, from Carlota Boulangerie, delivered a detailed and engaging talk about the influence of colonization on Mexican bread, and how her experience of bread-making in Montreal has helped her understand and become part of the multiethnic city’s rich food culture. She also brought a beautiful basket filled with Mexican breads produced by Carlota Boulangerie that was shared with the participants of Around the Table at La Centrale, this way enabling Montreal’s Latino community to reconnect with their roots and traditions through this gastronomic experience.
