Jr. Sous Chef Victor Carrillo from The Ledge at The Cape, a Thompson Hotel in Cabo San Lucas shares his favorite recipe for making delicious sashimi at home. We’re using Kampachi from Nueve Palmas in Los Cabos, but this recipe works with your choice of white fish. Follow the recipe here:
Well not quite a co-star but I did film on-site in Cabo and Costa Rica a commercial for Dutch bank DNB Norway with George Clooney many moons ago. It was a pretty intense shoot that spanned multiple countries over one month’s time considering the final cut is just over a minute long. It was a memorable experience and one that I would happily do again. If you ever run into George, ask him if he remembers our time together (Spoiler Alert: He will not).
One of our favorite farm-to-table restaurants in Los Cabos, known for their spectacular cooking classes, is Huerta Los Tamarindos. The Los Cabos Tourism Board over the past few weeks has put together complimentary webinars from local experts covering a wide range of subjects. Chef Enrique Silva, owner of Huerta Los Tamarindos, hosted the webinar below of home gardening tips. If you have ever been to Huerta Los Tamarindos then you know that Chef Silva is a master gardener, the Michael Jordan of gardening. Thank you Chef for sharing your time and knowledge!
When I think of breakfast (desayuno) in Mexico, I think of chilaquiles divorciados, mollettes, and coffee with sweet pastries. Of course, The Ledge at The Cape, a Thompson Hotel has those and they are fantastic. However, the real treasure is “The Cape Toast,” their take on the traditional French toast that is part donut, part croissant, and all delicious. In fact, in my opinion, it is the best French toast on the planet. It is so good, that I often order one for the table whether anyone wants to share it with me or not. It’s mandatory.
If there is anything good that has come out of the Coronavirus lockdown it is that The Cape, a Thompson Hotel has shared their famous French toast recipe with the rest of the world. Of course, eating this dish on the patio of The Ledge with waves crashing in the background is my favorite way to enjoy “The Cape Toast” but during these different times, enjoying it from home is the next best thing. Provecho!
