"Chile en Nogada is an emblematic dish of Mexican cuisine. Many stories and legends have been forged that exalt it. The truth is that its colors are inspired by the Three Guarantees Army flag of Agustín de Iturbide and was indeed created by Catholic nuns. Today, preparing and embellishing this spectacular recipe is something I really enjoy because it reminds me of the Baroque period, fundamental in the history of Mexico" -- Chef Marta Ortiz, Dulce Patria
