More than 150 arresting images capture the rich culture that infuses C mara'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, C mara is the most internationally recognized figure in Mexican cuisine, and her innovative, simple Mexican food is exactly what home cooks want to cook.
