Praise for Convivir

“To make true Mexican cuisine, you must start with heart and soul. In this book, Rogelio bares his soul and displays his love through cooking.”
VAL CANTÚ, chef and owner of Californios, the first US restaurant serving Mexican cuisine to earn two Michelin stars

“This story—an immigrant who rises in American cuisine while still holding close the origins and soul of their passion—needs to be told. The recipes are beautiful, combining Mexican flavors and California ingredients. I’m thrilled to see Rogelio embrace his Mexican roots through food in this delightful and sophisticated book.”
TRACI DES JARDINS, two-time James Beard Award–winning chef and restaurateur

“Convivir is the antidote for those who don’t see the grandeur of Mexican cuisine married with a love of America’s best wine belt; it sits at the intersection of wine and good communal eating, with roots in traditions millennia old stretching across oceans and continents. This is a beautiful, fresh take meant to make you rush into the kitchen.”
MICHAEL TWITTY, author of the James Beard Award–winning The Cooking Gene

“In Convivir, Chef Rogelio Garcia uses creative and sumptuous food to share his compelling and improbable personal journey. Gratefully, this beautifully photographed and well-written cookbook inventively expands the narrow conceptions that so many hold about Mexican cuisine.”
ADRIAN MILLER, culinary historian, author, and two-time James Beard Award winner
