Biographical Note: Dora Ramírez is the chef, recipe developer, and photographer at dorastable.com and Mi Mero Mole. Born and raised in Mexico and a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York, she adopted a vegan diet to take control of her health. She is passionate about teaching others the benefit of a plant-based lifestyle and is the author of Vegan Tamales Unwrapped: a step-by-step guide to sweet and savory tamales. Dora has been featured in Parents Latina Magazine, Buzzfeed, Vegnews Magazine, and entrepreneur.com. She lives in San Antonio, Texas. Brief Description: "Comida Casera is the cookbook I wish I had when I first stopped eating meat in 2015. At the time, there were hardly any resources on adapting Mexican cuisine to a vegan diet, and it was quite difficult for me to make the transition. 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. Plant-based eating continues to trend, but there's still a sense that giving up animal products means giving up your favorite family and cultural foods. Bilingual, Mexican-born chef, writer, and founder of dorastable.com, Dora Stone keenly felt that when she decided to go vegan for health reasons. But once she started reinventing her favorite recipes, she realized that plant-based ingredients can actually enhance the dishes. Now in Comida Casera, Dora shares her fresh take on traditional cuisine in chapters devoted to everything from tamales to mole, 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, Mushroom Chorizo, Porcini Mushroom Chicharrones, Al Pastor Tacos, Mushroom Carnitas Tacos, Bean and Nopal Tostadas, Potato and Poblano Stuffed Corn Cakes, Mole Poblano Enchiladas, Pumpkin Seed Green Mole, Jackfruit Pozole Rojo, Tres Leches Cake, Vanilla Flan, and more!"-- Review Quotes: "Comida Casera is a culinary treasure that beautifully blends traditional Mexican flavors with a plant-powered approach. This cookbook showcases the rich diversity of Mexican cuisine, offering everything from comforting dishes to fine dining and Indigenous recipes. With delicious options like Al Pastor Tacos, Green Chilaquiles, and Tres Leches Cake, Dora has crafted a must-have guide for anyone who loves Mexican food." -- Toni Okamoto, author of Plant-Based on a Budget Quick & EasyReview Quotes: "In Comida Casera, every recipe feels like an embrace, enriched by stories, infused with love, warmth and legacy. Whether vegan or not, Dora inspires you to explore these vibrant and diverse recipes, celebrating traditional Mexican cooking through the world of plants." -- Richa Hingle, creator of Vegan Richa, best selling author of Vegan Richa's Indian kitchen cookbookReview Quotes: "Comida Casera equips you with delicious recipes that will nourish you and your family with traditional Mexican flavors through the power of plants. I highly recommend it!" -- Neal Barnard, M.D., President, Physicians Committee for Responsible MedicineReview Quotes: "What a beautiful cookbook! Dora manages to make gorgeous looking food, that is delicious, homey, accessible and at the same time offer a treasure trove of vegetarian meal options without sacrificing anything for that goal. This book, and its food, is as delightful as Dora herself."-- Pati Jinich, chef, author of Treasures of the Mexican Table, and TV host Review Quotes: "In Comida Casera, Mexican plant based cuisine expresses all its richness, uniting tradition and modernity in an embrace of flavors. It is a tour through the streets of Mexico and Dora's table, where each recipe is a story, each ingredient a character, and every dish a narrative. A book that invites you to savor and enjoy the simple complexity of Mexican cuisine." -- Gabriela Ruiz, chef and restaurateurReview Quotes: "Dora Ramirez brings her expert culinary chops to bear in this beautiful interpretation of one of the world's greatest, most complex cuisines, showcasing Mexico's timeless inventiveness, resourcefulness, and just plain great taste. Now, you'll have to excuse me while I run to make chicharrones out of porcini mushrooms and barbacoa with hibiscus flowers!" -- Joe Yonan, Author, "Mastering the Art of Plant-Based Cooking" |
