Inspired by the flavors, ingredients, and flair of culinary and cultural
hotspot Mexico City, Gabriela Cámara'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 Cámara's food and a dozen essays detail the
principles that distinguish her cooking, from why non-GMO corn matters
to how everything can be a taco.
With celebrated restaurants in Mexico City and San Francisco, Cámara is
the most internationally recognized figure in Mexican cuisine, and her
innovative, simple Mexican food is exactly what home cooks want to cook.
