The ancient Aztecs had kitchens that were centered around corn, beans, and chili peppers, which were staples in their diet. They used clay ovens and open fires for cooking and had storage areas for food supplies. While they didn't have pull-out pantries with pull-out trays and bins, they had storage vessels and baskets to keep their ingredients organized. Aztec kitchens were a place of culinary creativity, where traditional recipes were passed down through generations.
