Brief Description: Review Quotes: "Bricia and her family are true culinary ambassadors, sharing the ingredients, the stories, and the flavors of her native Oaxaca. To me, they have achieved the true American dream--they have brought with them all of the very best from their home, providing an amazing space for community, for family, for the people of Los Angeles . . . and now we all get the chance to hear the stories and taste the food that makes Oaxaca one of the best places to eat on earth."-- José Andrés, Chef and Owner of ThinkFoodGroup & minibar by José Andrés Review Quotes: "From its powerful and important dedication, to its enticing introduction, alluring photographs and recipes, the thrilling new cookbook Oaxaca accomplishes that rare feat of capturing a place so vividly it not only make you want to go there, it brings you there by simply picking up this wonderful tribute to a land and its people. Let's lift a glass of mezcal to Bricia Lopez and the family behind LA's Guelaguetza."-- Nancy Silverton, chef and co-owner of Mozza Restaurant Group Review Quotes: "Bricia and her family built an amazing space to share the flavors and the stories of their native Oaxaca. Her journey is inspiring: Like any other migrant family they brought to the United States their very own cuisine, but they also created a place for community, for the people of Los Angeles, a place where you can feel at home. Now we have the chance to read the stories and taste the food that makes Oaxaca one of the best places to eat on earth."-- Enrique Olvera, chef and owner of Pujol and author of Tu Casa Mi Casa Review Quotes: "I grew up in Ktown in and out of 8th street, aka the Oaxacan corridor where their first restaurant was. Now it's located in the buffet building I used to eat at as a kid on Olympic. And soon, Mama Rabbit is gonna open right next door to my restaurant Best Friend in Las Vegas. I can't seem to shake the Guelaguetza family. We are forever linked and I'm mole than happy for that!"-- Roy Choi Review Quotes: "This inspiring and delightful cookbook, full of excellent and easy-to-follow recipes, confirms that Oaxaca is not only one of Mexico's most important food regions, it is one of the most important in the world."-- James Oseland, editor of the World Food book series and author of Jimmy Neurosis: A Memoir Publisher Marketing: Bricia Lopez's Oaxaca is a colorful celebration of Oaxacan cuisine from her family's landmark Guelaguetza restaurant in Los Angeles, co-written with food writer Javier Cabral. "Bricia and her family are true culinary ambassadors, sharing the ingredients, the stories, and the flavors of her native Oaxaca. . . . Now we all get the chance to hear the stories and taste the food that makes Oaxaca one of the best places to eat on Earth." ―José Andrés, chef, entrepreneur, philanthropist Oaxaca is the culinary heart of Mexico, and since opening its doors in 1994, Guelaguetza has been the center of life for the Oaxacan community in Los Angeles. The first true introduction to Oaxacan cuisine by a native family, each dish articulates their story, from Oaxaca to the streets of Los Angeles and beyond. Showcasing the "soul food" of Mexico, Oaxaca offers 140 authentic-yet-accessible recipes using some of the purest pre-Hispanic and Indigenous ingredients available. Sections and recipes include:
Lopez writes in her introduction, "In Zapoteco, the thousand-year-old Indigenous language still spoken in Oaxaca, the word for aciento (pork rind paste) is the same word that is used for children, which is the name of the toasted chicharron paste that we smear on tortillas. That is how important food is to us. In our Indigenous languages, we use our staple food to describe us as children." When you try her recipes, you'll know why food and life are so connected, vibrant, and essential to the people of Oaxaca. From their signature pink horchata to the formula for the Lopez's award-winning mole negro, Oaxaca demystifies this essential cuisine. Packed with mouth-watering color photographs. Review Citations:
