Other tables have been cleared, too, making space for a lounge of club chairs set between potted leafy plants. A couple of patrons pay for to-go orders at the bar, scattered with the d\u00e9tritus of a business closed for dine-in service but staying open with takeout, delivery, gift cards, and creative projects to keep the operation running.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Chef C. Barclay Dodge emerges from the kitchen to fetch a clean white chef\u2019s coat off a banquette. In short order, he\u2019s changed and out the door with his wife and partner, Molly Dodge, clutching bags in each hand. It\u2019s time to serve their guests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Just as restaurants around Aspen have been forced abruptly to adapt this spring, so have entertainment organizations. In March, Aspen Film pivoted its annual weeklong Aspen Shortsfest program to a virtual series. Now, in lieu of release in local theaters, Aspen Film will screen the new documentary, \u201cDiana Kennedy: Nothing Fancy,\u201d online on Friday, May 29. While the concept of \u201cdinner and a movie\u201d looks much different than it used to\u2014when cinemagoers might have shared spicy margaritas and tacos al pastor on house-made blue-corn tortillas at Bosq, then strolled one block down Mill Street to the Isis Theatre\u2014the show must go on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Though her name may be unfamiliar to many Americans, Diana Kennedy life\u2019s work is unparalleled. \u201cShe was the first person in the English-speaking world that really mined the richness of Mexican cuisine,\u201d notes chef-restaurateur Rick Bayless on camera.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"row at-donation at-donation-mobile p-0\" readability=\"7\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/AT-logo-white.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/AT-logo-white.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\" onclick=\"handleDonationButtonClickMidArticle()\">Donate<\/button><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote p402_hide\" readability=\"2.5\">\n<blockquote readability=\"8\">\n<p>\u201cIn order to have a future, we really need to understand our past, and protect our past. That will be the legacy of Diana (Kennedy).\u201d \u2014Jos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">The author of nine cookbooks and a two-time James Beard Award winner (including 2014 induction into the James Beard Cookbook Hall of Fame, at age 91), British-born Kennedy has devoted her life to traveling throughout the country from her home base in Michoac\u00e1n, 100 miles west of Mexico City, learning, researching and sharing traditional recipes that might never have become known outside their respective villages otherwise. Her TV cooking show exploring the varied cuisines of Mexico began during a time when cooking schools were just blossoming in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Filmed in 2018, the documentary weaves scenes of 95-year-old Kennedy\u2019s robust daily life\u2014driving her old pickup truck to markets, hosting cooking retreats at her eco-friendly home, tending to her magnificent gardens and, of course, cooking for visitors\u2014with archival footage. Her tireless dedication and fiery opinions have earned her respect from modern culinary icons including Alice Waters, Dan Barber and Jos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s, the latter an executive producer on the film who calls her \u201cthe Indiana Jones of Mexican cuisine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Kennedy\u2019s wisdom, scrutiny and sharp attitude are elixir for the times. \u201c(She) really lives a sustainable life, which feels a bit isolationist,\u201d says Aspen Film executive and artistic director Susan Wrubel. \u201cThe way she works and lives, her philosophy and how she carries herself feels a lot like what people are striving toward or discovering about themselves being in isolation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Bosq\u2019s unique Mexican menu (still in the works at press time) makes a perfect pairing at home. Dodge, too, has spent much time traveling around Mexico, concentrated in the Yucat\u00e1n, where he worked as a cook at a hotel, as well as during a monthlong, cross-country sojourn along La Ruta Maya. While those influences trickle into his food at Bosq, Dodge learned the most from a pair of expat cooks from M\u00e9rida, who apprenticed in the Bosq kitchen last summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cThey really taught us how grandma in the village makes these recipes,\u201d Dodge marvels. \u201cIt\u2019s not Western cooking technique. They\u2019ll burn their food to a crisp and then make a sauce out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Diana Kennedy, driven even today in search of authenticity, might approve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Shirttail\"><em><a href=\"mailto:amandaraewashere@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">amandaraewashere@gmail.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/news\/weekly\/food-matters-bosq-and-aspen-film-present-dinner-and-a-doc-inspired-by-diana-kennedy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>top view of fresh guacamole ingredients, natural organic vegetables on the table, home cookingGetty Images\/iStockphoto | iStockphoto detail background with mexican color. texture pattern for continuous replicate. mexican rug pattern. serape stripes vectorGetty Images\/iStockphoto | iStockphoto Show CaptionsHide Captions Brown paper bags line a table pushed to the edge of the dining room at Bosq.
