Festival del Mole and La Noche de Frida head to Westwood this weekend to celebrate delicious food and woman empowerment
Hecho and Re:Vision are hosting the event as part of their ancestral food series that focuses on bringing traditional indigenous cuisines to the table while also educating participants on the food’s history.
“Mole is so unique to everyone’s background, where they’re from, what part of Mexico they are from, and that’s what I love about this event. It allows people to really showcase that,” said Damaris Ronkanen, the owner of Cultura Chocolate and founder of Hecho en Westwood. “This isn’t just famous chefs from all over Denver coming together here. It’s actual women from the community sharing their family recipes. I feel like often it’s women like that that don’t get the recognition or support they deserve.”
