Mexican Soul: A New Style of Cooking
A groundbreaking cookbook by globally renowned chef Santiago Lastra that will allow any home cook from around the world to bring Mexican flavour to their kitchens with local produce.
You don’t need Mexican ingredients to cook great Mexican food – just an open mind, a few simple tools and a little soul.
In Mexican Soul, chef Santiago Lastra reimagines Mexican cooking using what’s local, seasonal and already in your cupboard. From pistachio guacamole to tortillas made with mashed potatoes, this book shows how Mexican flavour can be unlocked anywhere in the world.
In the first pages, discover the foundations of Mexican cuisine using traditional ingredients, organised by the flavours that define it – sour, sweet, spicy, fat, smoky and masa together with traditional Mexican recipes. You can then learn how to apply those principles creatively with the ingredients you already have at home in the second section, cooking Mexican food with freedom and confidence.
With more than 80 vibrant recipes and a philosophy rooted in creativity, Mexican Soul is more than a cookbook – it’s a new way to think about what Mexican food really is.
Cook from it. Spill on it. Make it yours.

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.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
