…recently, that is. My good friend Val of more than burnt toas t is challenging us to post the best dish we created, recreated or tried in 2010. Now that’s a difficult challenge because 2010 was a great food year for me. I didn’t post as many recipes on this blog as I did in 2009, but this is the year that I came back to Mexico and started a new and exciting culinary adventure. I went through my food records of 2010 and these are some of the best things I ate this past year, at the end of the post I’ll tell you which one was my favorite:

These are just the best of the best foods I ate last year. It was very, VERY difficult to choose the best of the best, but at the end, and considering everything, the following dish was the best thing I ever ate recently, and probably the best I’ve ever had. Drum rolls please…

My mom’s Chiles en Nogada , recipe here .

Val will be accepting entries until February 15th, so you have more than enough time to look into your records, or recreate the best thing you ever ate… recently. You can see more details here .

¡Buen provecho!
