Frida Kahlo was a lover of Mexican folk culture and traditional Mexican cuisine. Mexican products and traditional Mexican cuisine were the inspiration for Frida and Diego. Banquets and social gatherings organized by Frida and Diego in the Blue House (Casa Azúl) in Cayoacán (Mexico City) were known both for the presence of noble personalities and the variety of traditional Mexican dishes served. In 2010, Mexican cuisine was included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list as a model of cultural wealth. Account has been taken of the fact that ingredients such as tomatoes, avocados and chocolate are of Mexican origin.
