"Native to Mexico, avocados are a central ingredient in our cooking and I grew up eating them almost every day. My mother used to make them many ways, adding them to soups or tacos to give a creamy edge to a dish, but my favourite has always been guacamole. Literally meaning avocado sauce in Aztec, it is a celebration of the amazing colour and flavour of the mighty avocado, and a signature dish at Loca."
