Pati Jinich is a chef whose true passion is bringing authentic Mexican flavors, colors, textures and warmth into American kitchens. She shares the tastes and culinary adventures of her native country.

Pati makes three classic Sonoran recipes: a fish special called pescado zarandeado, a rich stew called gallina pinta and a tasty dirty rice with clams. In Sonora, she visits vacation destination Puerto Peñasco.

Pati travels to Sonora's coast on the Sea of Cortez, where local legend Toño Contreras gives her a tour including shellfish on the beach, his restaurant Mariscos El Rey, and his home kitchen for some crave-worthy recipes.

Pati explores some unique spots in Guadalajara where food and art truly connect. In her kitchen, she makes pollo a la valentina, rice with poblanos and corn, and an almond tres leches cake.

Pati prepares a true Sonoran feast for the crew - Sonora cheese soup, chicken in pecan and ancho chile sauce.
