Featuring extensive interviews with Diana Kennedy and famed chefs José Andrés, Rick Bayless, Gabriela Camara and Alice Waters, Diana Kennedy: Nothing Fancy provides an intimate look at the leading expert on Mexican cuisine. The author of nine acclaimed cookbooks and a two-time James Beard Award winner, Diana is called the “Julia Child of Mexico”, but the feisty cook prefers “The Mick Jagger of Mexican Cuisine”.
"How is it that a woman born in the south of England is one of the greatest references and authorities worldwide when it comes to peculiar Mexican cuisine? 'Diana Kennedy: Nothing Fancy', an award-winning documentary at the 2019 South by Southwest Festival, is a fascinating double journey: first, through Kennedy's own life, a brilliant character whose role in introducing the real Mexican food to the world has been extremely important, through almost a dozen books on the subject and numerous television appearances (she has been awarded the Mexican Order of the Aztec Eagle, the highest distinction granted by Mexico to foreigners). The second, obviously, is the journey she took through the country to discover its authentic culinary essence, found in common markets and not in the most prestigious restaurants."
