This is Estela and Dave B. preparing Kung Pao Seitan at La Casa del Pan in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. This was a restaurant that we performed at every night when we were living there and we volunteered to be guest chefs to celebrate the week of their 7th anniversary. It was so great to get to know the local markets and food system there and share our own passion for creative organic cooking with the cooking staff at the restaurant and the members of the San Cristobal community. We made about 90 plates of food and raised 80% of the money in that one night to build a school building for indigenous kids in one of the mountain villages nearby.
