Gastronomic experiences in Xalapa markets and new children's cookbooks

In Xalapa, Mexico, local markets such as Jáuregui, San José, and Los Sauces offer distinct culinary experiences that connect food supply directly to the dining table. The Jáuregui market, located in the city center, features a diverse range of stalls where visitors can find everything from fresh ingredients to prepared daily stews. Because menus vary by stall and day, visitors are encouraged to explore the aisles and inquire about specific morning preparations.

In the realm of culinary education, chef Jamie Oliver has launched the ‘Little Food Library’ collection through Éccomi Books. These illustrated books, including titles such as Pasta, Cookies, Pancakes, and Pizza, are designed to teach children about healthy ingredients and food combinations. Moving beyond traditional recipe books, the collection uses visual storytelling to foster curiosity and healthy eating habits in young readers.
