KSAT: Texas Eats: Michelin-starred desserts, popular baked goods, plus Sonoran and Oaxacan cuisine Texas Eats: Michelin-starred desserts, popular baked goods, plus Sonoran and Oaxacan cuisine Oaxacan handcrafts are traditionally made with wood, wool, clay and leather and are sold in many venues from local tianguis markets to upscale international stores. The best-known wood craft is the making of "alebrije" figures, which are usually miniature, brightly colored real or imaginary animals. The diversity of Oaxacan cuisine is suggested by its nickname, Land of the Seven Moles.
Each of the state’s seven regions produces a unique variation of the spicy mole sauce. The Oaxacan coast is a separate world from the city — surfer culture, warm Pacific water, olive ridley sea turtle nestings (June–November), and dramatically different food (fresh fish, coconut everything). You’re going to fall in love with the art, food, beauty and friendly people of Oaxaca. There’s everything from rich history, colorful festivals, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, locally-made Oaxacan mezcal, beautiful nature, colonial towns, indigenous artisan communities, and yummy Oaxacan food.
