The ancient Aztec kitchen was a vibrant space where food was prepared using traditional Aztec cooking techniques. These kitchens were typically located in the courtyard or a separate building adjacent to the main house. They featured a central hearth, where food was cooked over an open fire. The Aztecs relied heavily on maize (corn) as a staple food, which they used to make tortillas, tamales, and other dishes. They also cultivated beans, squash, and chili peppers. The design of an ancient Aztec kitchen would incorporate vibrant colors, such as red, yellow, and blue, as well as decorative elements inspired by Aztec art and culture.
