Show Notes
Co-host Devina Divecha sits down with Shaw Lash, chef and co-owner behind Dubai’s Mexican favourites, Lila Taqueria and Lila Molino. They talk about the challenges of getting tortillas right—from sourcing the right variety of corn to the importance of the nixtamalisation process—how they’re partnering with farmers in the UAE, and the interesting confluence of Indian and Mexican cuisine. We also have the scoop behind naming the restaurants after Lila.
