歐 洲 和北美廚房文化早年都將墨西哥食物歸納為兩個字：簡 單——只要在任何食材上加入辣椒就夠了。近年來人們開始明白墨西 哥美食非常多面化，有深厚的淵源，是包括墨西哥原住民和歐洲移民 在內不同文化的融匯。而且墨西哥美食的準備工作非常耗時，需要複 雜的烹飪技巧，又確實有自己的特定元素，常常會與其它美食文化規 則背道而馳。
Until a couple of decades ago, it was a common misconception that Mexican food was simplistic and only required the presence of chilies. But now, people understand that Mexican food is much more than that – a fusion of Indigenous and Spanish cultures.
Alimentaria Mexicana餐廳今夏在溫哥華受歡迎的固蘭湖島上開 業。EliteGen最近有機會與餐廳背後的創意人物、墨西哥裔加拿大廚 師和企業家Ernesto Gomez深談，以圖瞭解Alimentaria Mexicana的精 髓所在。
Here in Vancouver, Alimentaria Mexicana opened this summer on Granville Island. EliteGen recently caught up with the brainchild behind this restaurant, Mexican-Canadian chef and entrepreneur Ernesto Gomez, for a question-and-answer session.
