Ciudad de Mexico
Recipes and Stories from the Heart of Mexico City
An evocative Mexican cookbook, focusing on authenticity and accessibility.
After years of recreating the food of home in New York and London, Mexican chef Edson Diaz-Fuentes has broken down his native cuisine to the basics for the home cook.
Presented in sections by time of day, Ciudad de Mexico takes the reader on a whirlwind tour of culinary highlights, from cantina breakfasts and street food, to lunchtime moles and taco truck favourites and sweet treats. But while this book aims to evoke the true spirit of the country, it also functions as a key to unlock any mystery surrounding Mexican ingredients and flavours.
With stunning location photography and narratives on Mexican food culture and handy substitution guides, this book is a must-have for the culinary explorer.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
