Mexican cuisine is full of long-standing traditional recipes and techniques. But there are many chefs bringing new ideas to the table, giving a modern twist to Mexican cooking. In this episode, Pati meets two chefs in Mexico City who are putting modern spins on this age-old cuisine. She then taps into that creativity to show us her ideas for how we can "modernize" our Mexican kitchen.

Every family has passed-down recipes, and Pati's is no exception. Food has always been a central part of her family life. She'll show us a couple recipes that were passed down to her, as well as a recipe she hopes to pass down to her sons. Also, meet Pati's mom and sister, as she joins them for lunch at one of their favorite restaurants in Mexico City.

Mexican cuisine is chock-full of grilled, roasted, fried and frozen recipes, but for those looking to expand their repertoire with some baked recipes, this episode is for you! Today, Pati's Mexican Table becomes Pati's Mexican Bakery with a variety of simple recipes – all of which bake right in the oven.
