Restaurateur, Author, and Advocate Barbara Sibley - Mexican Inspiration

Barbara Sibley is one of earliest authorities and advocates for authentic regional Mexican food in America, and collector of traditional, rare and ancient Mexican recipes. She’s also the owner of the wildly popular New York City restaurant La Palapa, along with an accompanying taqueria, and a consultant on another; the author of a cookbook on Mexican small plates, an artist and poet, and an executive chef for one of the most important women’s fundraising events in New York. And all of this might have started with her earliest roots in Mexico City, when she created her very first recipe -- at just six years old. Barbara shares her inspiring story with author and chef Rozanne Gold.
