Word up
Jamie’s American Roadtrip kicks off with Jamie visiting Los Angeles. LA is synonymous with glitz, glamour and the American dream but there’s another side to the City of Angels...
East LA is notorious for gangs, drugs and violence, but alongside these problems Jamie discovers a Mexican-American community proud of its food, committed to family and striving to make the American dream a reality.
He visits Homeboy Industries, an organisation that uses food to break the cycle of crime, and is welcomed into the homes of Rigo and Maria, where he discovers food is a central part of family get-togethers, both as celebration and commemoration.
Explore the site to find some fresh Californian recipes inspired by the state and the people, read interviews with some of the people Jamie met and check out the bonus footage and pictures.
Los Angeles Recipes
Since Hispanics make up the majority of LA’s population, I wanted to learn as much as I could about this side of Californian food culture. I’m really glad I did, because I found Mexican food so exciting: tasty, in your face, and more often than not, damn nutritious.
