Susana Villasuso: Bringing the Spirit of Mexico to the World’s Table

In this episode, Susana Villasuso, Mexican chef and author of Sobremesa, shares how food can bridge cultures, languages, and generations. Speaking from the Sharjah International Book Fair 2025, she explores the meaning of “sobremesa” — the Mexican tradition of staying at the table long after the meal — and how that spirit of connection translates globally. Susana reflects on her culinary journey from her grandmother’s kitchen in Mexico to her life in London, balancing authenticity with innovation while introducing the world to the true depth of Mexican cuisine. She also offers insights for aspiring Arab chefs and writers hoping to publish their own cookbooks, and reminds listeners why food remains one of the most powerful expressions of memory, identity, and love.
