Inspired by Día de los Muertos — the Mexican equivalent of Halloween — Chef Santiago created these delicious, nutritious whole wheat pumpkin pancakes and warm, spiced maple syrup with pepitas. To make it a complete breakfast, Chef pairs the pancakes with some soft scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. We can't think of a better way to start the day!

Santiago LopezMy native country is Mexico, and I am extremely passionate about my roots — especially the diversity found in Mexican gastronomy. Cooking is not just about putting a dish on the table. It is about passion, love and subtlety when preparing it. It is finding the perfect balance of seasonings, colors, and flavors to create exquisite harmony.My love of cooking began 25 years ago at the age of 12 when I started working in restaurants in Mexico. I found my true passion there and decided to dedicate myself to discovering great contrasts and diversity in gastronomy.I arrived in New York at the age of 20. Since then I have focused on developing my passion. My first experience was at a Mexican restaurant, La Hacienda. I then assisted with the opening of the Dos Caminos Restaurant in New York. I went to work at the Rosa Mexican Restaurant where I trained the staff at the Atlanta, Georgia opening, and ended my stay there as a pastry chef. Over the years I have worked in different restaurants as Manager, working my way up to Executive Chef in restaurants such as Gardenia, La Casa Agave, Vida Verde and more.In 25 years of this beautiful profession I realize only one thing: I don’t cook to live, I live to cook.
A bit too much syrup, but can save the rest for another dish

This is a nice combination taste delicious and you don’t have to eat all of it at once so if I get there first, I would share with my husband but if he gets there first, he eats it all up!

delicious but need a bit more syrup with it

A repeat of a favorite. I add margarine to the pancakes which tend to otherwise be too dry for my liking.

Very good but be careful when cooking on the oven, the pancakes can get a bit crunchy.
