Miguel Cabrera, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, 1751. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz was a Mexican nun who was documented in history as a great cook and lover of food. It was during her lifetime that Mexican food was getting its own identity for the first time since being colonized by the Spanish. Built on the native ingredients and Indigenous peoples’ food ways, but also heavily influenced by the food of its colonizers and by African slave food, emerged as a new style of cuisine in the late Renaissance. The plants and foods that already existed in this area made their way back to Europe and were highly prized, along with this new style of cooking, think chilies, chocolate, corn, and vanilla
