The traditional cook, Mar\u00eda Natividad Canul, 48 years old, is originally from the town of Xoc\u00e9n, Valladolid. Xoc\u00e9n is a mystical place with a population that still preserves its customs and traditions, making the community very close-knit and involved in collective decision-making. Do\u00f1a Natividad specializes in more than 15 traditional and ancestral recipes, including Pipi\u00e1n de lentejas de milpa (Lentil Pipi\u00e1n), Pipi\u00e1n de ibes (Black Bean Pipi\u00e1n), K'ool de frijol pa\u00eds (Local Bean K'ool), K'ool de chaya (Chaya K'ool), Tamal de hoja de xkukut makaal (Leaf Tamale), Caldillo de huevo (Egg Stew), Caldo de chaya (Chaya Soup), Woolbi sikil (Pumpkin Seed Dip), Choochi waaj (Bean Stew), and a beverage called Xtaan uk'ul. These dishes are prepared for daily meals as well as for village ceremonies, prayers, baptisms, and other events. Most of the recipes that Do\u00f1a Natividad prepares today were passed down to her by her mother and mother-in-law, who explained the cooking process to her once, and she learned by observing until she memorized the entire recipe and preparation method. She started cooking on her own when she was 16 years old. Nowadays, she cooks at home or on her plot of land, where she grows some plants that provide ingredients for her dishes.<\/p>

 <\/p>

If you visit Xoc\u00e9n, you should also attend the town's open-air theatre known as \"El laboratorio de Teatro Campesino e Ind\u00edgena de Xoc\u00e9n\" (The Laboratory of Rural and Indigenous Theater of Xoc\u00e9n). The theatre is surrounded by nature and features a large wooden stage, where acts related to Maya culture are performed by actors from the communities in eastern Valladolid. These performances take place periodically, so you will need to check for availability.<\/p>
