Mexican Recipes Spark Different Tablesefting
By AILEEN SNODDY
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
NEW YORK—(NEA) —It was a special treat for the British
wife of a Mexican official at the United Nations to set a typi
cal Mexican table for us. The only problem—no food.
Senora Cesar Ortiz-Ticona is a tall, graying blonde who has
turned her world travels and interest in food into a lucrative
way of life. As Elizabeth Lambert, she writes cookbooks and
magazine articles in which she shares the delights and lore
of regional recipes.
Before she explained her
tablesetting for others to
copy, Sen ora Ortiz-Ticona
bubbled on about how she
“got married and lost her
job” of writing films for the
U.N., a post she got while in
Bangkok. Her future hus
band was chief of radio news
then and now is U.N. chief of
publications.
As a journalist, collecting
information came naturally.
Her travels started as a child
since her father was a salvage
master. Her grandfather was
an adviser to Indian princes
and during her teens she
lived in Jamaica. The exotic
foods of the countries piqued
her interest.
With prepackaged, dehy
drated and frozen foods, to
day’s cook prepares an
around-the-world gourmet
meal quite simply.
Such a homemaker, Senora
Ortiz-Ticona feels, will enjoy
the food she serves, and so
will her guests if she knows
more about its origins. “I dis
covered that foods tell a story
about a country. We don’t
realize how much activity
there was in the ancient
world until we trace sources
of foods.”
For example, most Mexican

Charles Dorrough, Ruleville
mayor who entered the race

came to the conclusion that the

Sauces were of ground nuts
because there was no milk or

Her latest project is based
upon her introduction to
foods of Mexico via her mar
riage. She began collecting
recipes while visiting in Mex
ico because “the lady of the
house doesn’t cook and the
servants don’t write them
down. While we were in
Thailand I began whipping
up Mexican dishes because
the diplomatic corps wanted
something different.” The re
sult is her new book, “The
Complete Book of Mexican
Cooking.”
She tests her recipes in her
own kitchen which is well
equipped but not elaborate.
“I don’t feel it is fair to ask
a housewife to cook recipes
without my using the equip-'
ment they normally have, i
Few women can afford a com-'

TO EASE THE BURDEN of transporting airline passengers from suburban and center
city areas to airports, a new concept in ticketing and transportation is under develop
ment by a Philadelphia firm. The Budd Company plan calls for ticketing directly
from points of departure to the airport, followed by shuttling of passengers directly
to their gate at the airport in high-speed trains. The system would eliminate the usual
changing oi trains, handling of baggage, and congestion of traffic when public trans
portation is ridden to the airport, and cut down on congestion of other traffic.

SIMPLE TABLESETTING proves quite colorful with black clay angel candleholders,
earthenware dishes from Mexico and cincho or table runner. Big treat comes when
guacomole, chicken and rice and Sangria fill the empty dishes and glasses. Setting
created by Senora Cesar Ortiz-Ticona, writer of cookbooks and wife of a U.N. official.
cincho. The main atmosphere
was created through use of
earthenware casseroles with
peasant decoration and called
cazuela. For an added touch
she used Oaxacan black clay
angels and rough, unevenly
shaped blue-green glasses
from Mexico City.
Believing that you don’t
have to burn your guests to
death with hot food, she says
her menu for four probably
would be a chicken dish.

For refreshments before
and during the meal the se
nora recommends or

other accessories on trips, it
is easy to substitute and get
a similar table setting.
A narrow colorful woven
shawl, for example, makes a
delightful table runner. Se
lect paper placemats and
napkins with a south-of-the

roosters. A centerpiece of

pletes the mood.

chicken on your summer
guests.
