In this video we speak to Martha Ortiz, about her new restaurant in London, Ella Canta.
Although educated in political science, Ortiz became a pioneer of the Mexican fine dining scene, with her first restaurant, Águila y Sol. Since it's closure (due to it not having enough parking spaces), Ortiz has gone on to open her flagship restaurant, Dulce Patria, winning her a multitude of awards and recognition, including the best restaurant in Mexico, listed on Latin America's 50 Best, as well as being part of La Liste.
She opened Ella Canta at the Park Lane Hotel, London in 2017 and has remained as one of the only fine dining Mexican restaurants in the country, despite this type of cuisine becoming vastly popular in recent years.
Martha speaks to us about her ethos on food and how she deals with the balance of creating authentic Mexican cuisine, including edible insects, using British produce, as well as what the UK has to offer to the menu.
