Oaxaca: Home Cooking from the Heart of Mexico

Oaxaca is Mexico's culinary heart, and Guelaguetza has been the center of life for the Oaxacan community in Los Angeles since it first opened its doors in 1994. Guelaguetza, founded by the Lopez family, has been serving traditional Oaxacan cuisine for 25 years. Each dish articulates its story, from Oaxaca to the streets of Los Angeles and beyond, as the first true introduction to Oaxacan cuisine by a native family.

Oaxaca cookbook offers 140 authentic, yet approachable recipes using some of the purest pre-Hispanic and indigenous ingredients available, showcasing Mexico's "soul food". Oaxaca deconstructs this essential cuisine, from their signature pink horchata to the recipe for Lopez's award-winning mole negro. In this book that reads like a love letter to Oaxaca, you'll find recipes for many other dishes you'll want to bookmark, as well as personal photographs and stories about the Lopez family.
