Passionate about Mexico's celebrated street food, Thomasina Miers concludes her culinary quest around Mexico City and Oaxaca as she combs their fabulous markets for recipe inspiration.

Tommi takes a ride along the scenic canals of Mexico City in a boat that's more of a floating dining room - there's even a barbeque on board - and pokes around the kitchen of Mexico’s most famous artist, Frida Kahlo.

At home in her kitchen, Tommi dishes up some tasty black bean tostadas, sea bass coconut ceviche and caramelised bananas flambeed in tequila.
