Sando Mateos | La Concheria
from Conversation with a chef Hosted by Jo Rittey
When I first arrived in Melbourne nine years ago, I was introduced to a beautiful group of Mexican Irish friends, or more specifically, Mexican girls with Irish partners. My initial fascination with this particular combo quickly disappeared into the absolute joy I had spending time with them. Many in that group have moved on or away but I feel lucky that Greta and her Irish Dave remain amongst my dearest friends in Melbourne. It is thanks to Greta that I learned about Sando Mateos and his Mexican sweet breads. Sando arrived in Melbourne in March and despite being in a new city in lockdown, has established a thriving business selling conchas, or sweet bread. This weekend is a biggy because of the Day of the Dead festivities and all the dead bread (pan de muerto) he is making. It was a joy speaking to Sando and knowing that there is another lovely Mexican doing great things in Melbourne.
