Provecho

“Edgar Castrejón’s Provecho is here for the vegans, the flexitarians, the plant lovers, and the all-around good-time eaters. Let’s not put it in too tight a box. Give this to the person who never saw a taco they didn’t love, who could use a few new ways to fix up their frijoles, and who will appreciate having their mind blown by cashew cream tomato sauce slathered over their chile rellenos.”—Bon Appétit“Provecho is a book infused with love for food, family, and culture. The stories will feed your soul and the recipes will channel your love for Mexican food in a wholesome plant-based way.”—Nisha Vora, creator of Rainbow Plant Life and author of The Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook“Every single dish looks beautiful and appetizing, from tacos to soups, sauces, and more. Watching Edgar channel his roots and provide us with these recipes from the heart and soul of his upbringing is nothing short of exciting for my plate and kitchen. Edgar knows comfort food; I love this book and I know you will too.”—Maria Koutsogiannis, plant-based chef and author of Mindful Vegan Meals“Edgar’s book is a master class in stunning photography, colorful cuisine, and the art of infusing heart in all your dishes. You will want to cook everything in this beautiful book!”—Joanne Molinaro, author of The Korean Vegan Cookbook“When it comes to creating delicious food, Edgar doesn’t hold back. His passion for celebrating culture and community shines in his recipes and his beautiful food photography. These recipes are vibrant and unique, celebrating plants in a way I’ve not seen before. From fresh aguachile to comforting sope de fideo, there is something in this book for everyone!”—Ashley Hankins, author of Make It Vegan“Fresh, flavorful, and comforting—the three words that perfectly encompass the recipes in this book. You can feel the love that Edgar poured into this and it is such a treat to get to know him, his family, and their culture through these recipes.”—Jasmine Briones, creator of Sweet Simple Vegan“An enticing collection of quick, relatively straightforward recipes that’s a solid starting point for vegan and nonvegan readers alike. Castrejón (recipe developer, food stylist, and now cookbook author) has created an enticing guide to making plant-based Mexican food at home.”—Library Journal
