‘I have been following Karla for years. Over that time, I have cooked and eaten so many of her incredible dishes – and was even lucky enough to be taught by her. She’s such a brilliant cook … and now writer!’ – Olia Hercules

Karla Zazueta grew up in Baja California, in the north of Mexico. When she moved to the UK twenty years ago, she brought with her all her family’s recipes and ways of cooking that had been passed down through the generations. She decided to make a career from her passion for cooking and started her blog, where she writes about food and Mexican tradition. She runs cookery classes from her home, as well as hosting regular sold-out supper clubs at home and in venues across London. Her writing has been featured in Guardian, Observer Food Monthly and BBC Good Food, and she has been a guest on BBC Radio 4’s The Kitchen Cabinet with Jay Rayner.
