MXCNAS: Elevating Mexico’s Female Chefs
New project shifts spotlight to Baja California cocineras
SAN DIEGO – “Female chefs have been sidelined by a misogynist media in Mexico and the US that tends to only talk about the same male chefs time and time again,” Sergio Muñoz, writer, businessman, and financier recently shared with us.

Hi Mavourneen!
Thanks for following the blog…I truly appreciate it! I have written about Chef Bo on this blog and elsewhere. I’m a fan of her food and we’re good friends. The MXCNAS project by Sergio Muńoz, however, is specifically about Mexican female chefs, and Bo is of Moroccan descent. Otherwise, I’m sure she would have been included in his project 🙂
Cheers!
Scott
