Mexicans have been wrapping and cooking food in leaves for a long time, and this episode will look at the reasons why. It will also share three scrumptious dishes you can make in your own kitchen with the wrapping method and with three different kids of wrappers! We'll also look at some shortcuts and tips for cooking wrapped foods in your own kitchen, as opposed to the traditional method of digging a pit or steaming them in an enormous pot.

Good day and GOD Bless Patti! This recipe is awesome, I didnt know tamales could be made a "sweet treat". I used walnuts because I didnt have pecans. It was delicious. Thank You and keep bringing us these glorious meals.

Hi Pati! Are any more episodes forthcoming? We DVR'd the entire season but haven't seen any more in months. Your personality, humor, and warmth pop out of the screen and make this a great and fun show. My family really misses seeing you. Take care and God bless.

Thanks Pati, we look forward to it. I am part of a family that has deep and abiding respect for traditional, true Mexican cooking and they are fast to point out that you know your stuff very well. And when you set your viewers straight about bottled lime juice, it was hilarious! Thanks again and take care. You have a lot of fans in the Maldonados of southern California :)

How do you make tamales in the microwave,I thought i had seen you once wrap them in siran wrap and cook them in the micro wave?

Hola Janet! I have never made tamales in the microwave or with plastic wrap. You may be thinking of someone else. :) Here's a link to a recipe to Blackberry and Pecan tamales on my site http://patismexicantable.com/2011/06/blackberry-and-pecan-tamales.html.
