  2. I love your shows and your YouTube channel. I love getting recipes and insight on products. However today's choice of throw-away, single-use plastic makes me sad for our world's wildlife. At the very least you should have shown people how to responsibly cut this plastic cone open so that no wildlife could get caught in it and choke. Big misstep on your part. : (

  7. I made these tacos the other night. I'm not sure why the meat wasn't tender. Used the same cut, same everything as the recipe called for, after 2 hours tho meat was anything but tender and ready to shred. They were tasty when they were finally done but it took so much longer than the recipe said….like several hours longer.

  8. You absolutely cannot substitute tomato paste for annato paste. This is more of an Italian braise than a Mayan pit roasted meat. Completely opposite ends of the spectrum. While I’m sure this recipe is delicious in a taco it is decidedly NOT Chochinita Pibil.

  10. The piping onto the baking pan and chilling was smart. When I tried it with a friend we piped it directly into the oil and it was a complete mess (he also didn’t get the right size piping tip so that didn’t really help)

  17. This is the first time I have ever seen someone toast tortillas over the gas grill instead on a comal. I've been doing that for decades but I thought I was weird for doing it. Even my mom who taught me cooking used a comalito. And Julia's right, toast the tortilla so it's a little charred around the edges.

  26. Best coverage for the sugar cinnamon mix is to toss them in a paper bag and give them a good shake. That’s how it’s done in East Los Angeles. If your ever in Los Angeles and want to grab a good bag of churros. May I suggest the churro lady that has her cart in the south corner of the Lorena Pharmacy. She sets up in the evenings. Enjoy.

    To ATK, been a big fan of all your productions. Love you two, ladies. A real class act.

  33. Tomato can never substitute anato or axiote; that is like substituting strawberries with radishes just because they are red. And habanero is not pronounced ‘Habañerro” there is no ñ in it. Salsa doesn’t date “all way back to the Mayans” Salsa mean sauce, SAUCE, there is a word for it in your language.

  43. we had a backyard spit (mechanical turn with indirect heat from the wood) and used apple cider and garlic to spice the pig… never used a suckling… they were toooo expensive… did this many times and loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! miss thos days
