one wall of Diana Kennedy’s adobe home in Zitácuaro, around 170 kilometres west of Mexico City. Her gardens overflowed with herbs, chillies and other edible plants; the home itself was built from locally made, often recycled materials. Cisterns collected rainwater, which solar panels heated; once used, it was recollected, filtered and used again.
