I started making guacamole in a molcajete after seeing the documentary "Nothing Fancy" about Diana Kennedy. (Fabulous by the way, as I bet you know.) The result was a real revelation. I especially love how the taste of the onion and chile really pops.

I am always surprised by how small changes in preparation methods can have such noticeable results.

Ever since my last trip to San Miguel de Allende I’ve been trying to get my guacamole to taste the way it did there. This was so helpful and beautifully laid out. Now I can see what I was doing differently, like adding too much lime. Next time I make guacamole I’m going to follow your instructions. Thank you for posting!

I love my molcajete. Funnily, after I die, the younger generation have said they will fight over who gets it.

A truly great molcajete is hard to come by.
