The Chef’s Counter: Shaw Lash’s beef barbacoa tacos

About this episode

Chef Shaw Lash discusses her journey in authentic Mexican cuisine and the impact of food on community connections.

Co-host Tiffany Eslick is in conversation today with Chef Shaw Lash, known for her dedication to authentic Mexican cuisine. Chef Shaw has spent decades refining her craft across Mexico, the U.S., and Europe. Today, she brings that dedication and passion to Dubai through Lila Taqueria and Lila Molino, using traditional methods of nixtamalisation to create authentic tortillas, chips and exceptional masa. This episode continues our new micro-series called The Chef's Counter, an extension of our recently launched in-store initiative to support the chefs, founders and food entrepreneurs shaping the UAE’s dining scene. The past three weeks have been a great start, with cookies, bagels, salads, pastelitos, and baklava launched in stores from a range of talented chefs. Chef Shaw also shares the mouth-watering dish coming to select Spinneys stores this week, and how collaboration and food connect people and communities.
