Comida Casera: More Than 100 Vegan Recipes, from Traditional to Modern Mexican Dishes

Discover delicious, plant-based Mexican recipes from a Culinary Institute of America-trained Mexican chef.

When Dora Ramírez gave up eating animal-based foods, she worried that it meant giving up her favorite Mexican dishes. But once she started reinventing her favorite recipes, she realized that plant-based ingredients actually enhance the dishes. In Comida Casera, Dora shares her fresh take on traditional cuisine in chapters devoted to everything from favorite home comfort foods to fine dining. From Indigenous recipes created in partnership with cocineras tradicionales to Mexico's markets and street vendors, Comida Casera is a delicious love letter to food and culture, celebrating the interconnectedness of both through a plant-based lens. ​With recipes for: 

Almond Queso Fresco
Green Chilaquiles
Chilorio Burritos
Pumpkin Seed Enchiladas
Vanilla Flan, & more!

“My cookbook is a love letter to my country and my people. It is a book that honors traditional Mexican flavors and techniques, but relies on the immense world of plants to do so.”—Dora Ramírez
