Editor's Note:
La cocina siempre ha sido una de las principales manifestaciones del ser humano. Comer es un acto biológico, cocinar es un acto cultural. Esta colección recoje recetarios mexicanos antiguos, algunos publicados y otros inéditos.LOS RECETARIOS SON COMO NOVELAS O LIBROS DE HISTORIA QUE REVELAN COSTUMBRES Y SABERES DE UNA ÉPOCAJosé Lara La cocina mexicana es resultado de la mezcla de diversas tradiciones culinarias. Desde la base de alimentos heredada por los pueblos prehispánicos, hasta aquellos que se incorporaron gracias a las sucesivas migraciones y a las relaciones comerciales sostenidas con Europa, Asia y África.Este intercambio cultural permitió una mezcla de alimentos y con ello la creación de nuevos platillos, resultado no sólo de la creatividad, y experimentación sino del toque personal de las cocineras, quienes registraban minuciosamente las recetas creadas.Con el paso del tiempo, éstas circularon entre las familias y fueron heredadas de madres a hijas, convirtiéndose en importantes documentos culinarios, y por supuesto en destellos de su tiempo histórico.Para dar cuenta de la abundancia y la variedad de la cocina mexicana, la Dirección General de Culturas Populares e Indígenas y la Dirección General de Publicaciones del Conaculta, presentaron el sábado pasado, en el Museo Nacional de Culturas Populares, los libros Manual de Cocina. Puebla 1911 de María Isla y el Anónimo, Formulario de la cocina mexicana. Puebla siglo XIX, textos que fueron comentados por Cristina Barros, Luis Alberto Vargas, Teresa E. Velasco de Franco y Marco Buenrostro."Los recetarios son como novelas o como libros de historia que revelan las costumbres y los saberes culinarios de una época", comentó Cristina Barros, acerca del Manual de cocina de María Isla. En la publicación, dijo, se aprecia claramente la influencia de la cocina europea que junto con la cocina prehispánica, configuraron una importante faceta de la gastronomía nacional.El caldo alemán, las salsas y los pucheros que son de origen español, el lomo alemán sazonado con pulque, así como la presencia de quesos, vinos, orégano de Castilla, orégano chino y aceite de oliva combinados con ingredientes mexicanos, son ejemplos de integración cultural que callan la boca de quienes creen que inventaron la globalización, comentó."Por otra parte, el nombre de varias recetas, atestigua cómo cada familia le daba a los platillos un valor personal. Tan graciosos como apetecibles destacan las recetas: Gallina en estate por ahí, Asado de pollo de Petra, Buey a la moda, Ternera de Pepa, Olla podrida, Manchamanteles y Pastel de Cuauhtémoc, entre otras recetas".A decir de Marco Buentostro, el libro de María Isla revela una parte importante de la nacionalización de la cocina mexicana. A través del texto aseguró, también se nota la influencia culinaria de otras regiones cercanas al estado de Puebla: "Dicho estado fue un importante cruce de caminos y centro cultural. Ha sido camino obligado entre Veracruz y la ciudad de México; tiene comunicación desde épocas remotas con la culta Oaxaca y comparte tradiciones y costumbres con Hidalgo y Tlaxcala. Por estas razones fue que se convirtió en receptora de los conocimientos culinarios".Otra característica importante del libro, son las 375 frases y máximas que "invitan a la penitencia y a la meditación religiosa, mismas que se intercalan con conceptos de urbanidad y para la convivencia".El también prologuista del Manual de cocina mexicana, aseguró que aun cuando el texto plantea dificultades por el tipo de cantidades y medidas, así como por el empleo de algunos ingredientes, es propicio para la experimentación con los recursos gastronómicos que hoy existen.A propósito del texto Anónimo, Formulario de la cocina mexicana, Teresa E. Velasco de Franco dijo que éste corresponde a la segunda parte de El libro de cocina del chef francés Jules Gouffé, el cual tuvo amplia difusión entre la clase media alta de México. En la portadilla se precisa que el volumen contiene "un tratado especial de la cocina mexicana formado por una cocinera poblana"."Además de las exquisitas recetas que incluye, a través de su lectura uno puede apreciar las costumbres alimenticias de la época y las cantidades para la elaboración de platillos; hay por ejemplo, recetas que se preparan con decenas de huevos, lo que da a entender lo numerosas que eran las familias antaño".En el libro, aseguró Teresa E. Velasco de Franco, existe una marcada influencia de países europeos como España, Francia e Inglaterra; pero también coincidió en que la base es de origen prehispánico.Para Luis Alberto Vargas, el Formulario rescatado por Teresa E. Velasco de Franco es importante porque en él se descubren recetas provenientes de otros lugares del mundo que se apropiaron los mexicanos."La Barbacoa africana es un ejemplo de ello. Al final de la receta se lee lo siguiente: Los hotentotes cuecen de este modo las trompas y pies de ...
