Mi Cocina: Recipes and Rapture from My Kitchen in Mexico: A Cookbook

Mi Cocina by Rick Martínez is a culinary journey through Mexico like no other.

This highly personal love letter to the beauty and bounty of México takes readers on an unforgettable adventure, with over 100 transportive recipes that will revitalize your pantry and transform your cooking repertoire.

From the beloved food writer and host of the Babish Culinary Universe show Pruébalo on YouTube and Food52’s Sweet Heat, this book is inspired by Martínez's travels throughout 32 states, 156 cities, and 20,000 incredibly delicious miles.

With deeply personal recipes based on his taste memories and experiences, Mi Cocina showcases the diversity, richness, and complexity of Mexican cuisine like never before.

Highlights include herb and cheese meatballs bathed in a smoky, spicy chipotle sauce from Oaxaca, grilled Carne Asada stuffed into a grilled quesadilla for full-on cheesy-meaty food euphoria, and tender sweet corn tamales packed with succulent shrimp, chiles, and roasted tomatoes from Sinaloa on the west coast.

With poignant essays throughout that lend context—both personal and cultural—to quilt together a story that is rich and beautiful, touching and insightful, Mi Cocina is a must-have for any food lover or adventurous cook looking to explore the flavors of México.
