Houston’s first Poet Laureate, Gwendolyn Zepeda was trained at MECA. Student ensembles and artists also are known for their talent and achievements. MECA programs are nationally recognized for producing talented student artists. The memorable event was organized by MECA (Multicultural Education and Counseling through the Arts), a pioneer and champion of arts education. By swapping recipes and stories, the dinner became a clear example of how food is identity and memory. I was invited to lead the conversation about the meaning of the dishes. The meal involved twelve families who live in Houston’s Sixth Ward neighborhood. But it was the stories and memories that that made this recipe swap dinner special. There was mouth-watering picadillo, nopalitos salad, salsa ranchera, crema mexicana, shark empanadas and much more.
