¡Hola! ¡Es hora de una fiesta mexicana!

Is there ever a bad day for Mexican food? Not in my house.

I have an upcoming trip to Mexico, and I love Love LOVE Mexican food. So when this cookbook came into my radar, I knew it was a must-have.

And it hasn’t disappointed!

The author Edgar Castrejón is a first-generation Mexican who went vegan while in college. He wanted to create a cookbook that would make the foods he grew up with just a little bit healthier.

What I love about this cookbook is how simple the ingredient lists are. Chances are you have most of them right on your pantry shelf. These are recipes I’ll continue to cook for years to come because they fit right in with the Mexican dishes my family already loves. I bet you will too.

You gotta try it!

About the GorgeousWellth Cookbook Club

Each month I select a cookbook for the month and use it as inspiration for dinner at least once a week. Each month I’ll choose a favorite I’m working with, and share a thing or two I learn.

Wanna play along? I’m keeping this pretty informal – I just want to inspire you to pick up a great cookbook and start cooking too. Hopefully, you can get a lot of these from your local library. If not, you might be able to pick them up gently used through Amazon. Or if you choose to use them for your inspiration as much as I do, maybe it’s time to invest in these and have them ready and waiting on your shelf.

I won’t be sharing the recipes, but I will share some of the results. Let me know if you try any of these, and let me know what you think. Be sure to tag me on IG @loriosterberg or use #GorgeousWellth Follow along as I’ll be adding new cookbooks each month!

Happy plant-based cooking!
