Enrique Olvera is a leading chef on the gastronomic

stage with two restaurants on the World's 50 Best list. But he's also opened

three casual spots: Criollo (Oaxaca), Eno (Mexico City), and Atla (New York

City). These have become some of his most beloved restaurants and in his

heart, Mexican home cooking is what brings him the greatest joy. Tu Casa Mi

Casa will share his favorite recipes, accessible for the home cook and for

every day. The first chapter will explore the foundations-masa, mole, salsas,

beans, and rice-to give the reader the building blocks of Mexican cooking.

There will be step-by-step breakdowns of how to make masa, fold tetelas, and

cook tamales, illustrated by photos. The book will include chapters for

breakfast, simple fare, feeding a crowd, desserts, and drinks. The finished

food photography is warm and mirrors the inviting spirit of the recipes.

Olvera's second book, following Mexico from the Inside Out

(Phaidon 2015), will be an ode to Mexican home cooking, with a focus on

authentic ingredients and traditional processes. These recipes will encourage

readers to try new contemporary flavors and techniques in their own kitchens,

no matter how far from Mexico they live. The recipes will be approachable,

without foregoing complex flavor and beautiful preparations. This book will

explore ways that Mexican food and ingredients can be incorporated into your

weekly rotation.
