Description

CDMX is the follow-up cookbook to Comida Mexicana by Rosa Cienfuegos. It is a celebration of the food of Mexico City, the dishes that Rosa grew up eating and now recreates in her two Sydney restaurants: Tamaleria and Icatate. It is the food that chilangos (residents of Mexico City) enjoy at home and on the streets, in markets and cafes and bars. Authentic and often unique to Ciudad de Mxico, as the locals call it, CDMXs colourful recipes reflect the vibrancy, history and modern urban life of Mexicos liveliest city.

Filled with stunning food photography and on-the-scene shots of Mexico City, this is a cookbook for those who crave authenticity and who strive to accurately recreate their favorite food memories. For anyone planning a trip to Mexico, CDMX also features a small travel guide recommending the best bars, restaurants, street eats and markets to be found in this sprawling modern metropolis.

Author Bio

Rosa Cienfuegos was born in Azcapotzalco, a suburb of Mexico City. She grew up surrounded by friends and family in this vibrant suburb before eventually relocating to Sydney, Australia, to be close to her father. Once in Sydney, Rosa missed the food of her home country and began importing Mexican ingredients as a small business. This ignited the local Mexican community in Sydney, which encouraged Rosa to open her tamaleria and sell the street-food dishes she loved most in Mexico. Fast-forward several years and Rosas second restaurant, and deli, Icatate, opened in popular Redfern, extending Rosas food offerings and authentic ingredients from Mexico City. She regularly returns to Mexico to gain more knowledge and insight into her beloved cuisine. CDMX is Rosas second cookbook.
