My Mexico City Kitchen: Recipes and Convictions, by Gabriela Camara

Released: April 30, 2019.

Inspired by the flavors, ingredients, and flair of culinary and cultural hotspot Mexico City, Gabriela Cmara’s style of fresh-first, vegetable-forward, legume-loving, and seafood-centric Mexican cooking is a siren call to home cooks who crave authentic, on-trend recipes they can make with confidence and regularity. With 150 recipes for Basicos (basics), Desayunos (breakfasts), Primeros (starters), Platos Fuertos (mains), and Postres (sweets), Mexican food-lovers will find all the dishes they want to cook–from Chilaquiles Verdes to Chiles Rellenos and Flan de Cajeta–and will discover many sure-to-be favorites, such as her signature tuna tostadas. More than 150 arresting images capture the rich culture that infuses Cmara’s food and a dozen essays detail the principles that distinguish her cooking, from why non-GMO corn matters to howeverythingcan be a taco. With celebrated restaurants in Mexico City and San Francisco, Cmara is the most internationally recognized figure in Mexican cuisine, and her innovative, simple Mexican food is exactly what home cooks want to cook.
