Mexico
Mexican cooking rests on three ancient pillars — corn, beans and chile — layered with everything the centuries brought after. It ranges from the smoky, complex moles of Oaxaca to the citrus-and-achiote cooking of Yucatán to taco stands that turn a night in any city into a feast, and UNESCO recognizes the whole tradition as cultural heritage.
