Comemos

With Comemos, Alejandra Graf offers 85 plant-forward, authentic yet modern Mexican recipes, with variations for non-vegans.

Comemos (let’s eat or we eat) is Alejandra Graf calling her family, friends, and readers to the table. Her fresh, contemporary, and vegan Mexican recipes, often with dairy and meat options, and warm writing style, make sure that everyone is welcome and well fed.

Like many home cooks, Graf was faced with a dilemma: she is vegan, but the rest of her family is not. Her challenge was to create delicious, healthy, easy recipes that would appeal to vegans and omnivores alike. As she developed recipes for family meals, she also shared them through her blogs, Piloncillo&Vainilla and AleCooks. And now those much-sought-after recipes, plus more, have become a cookbook.

Comemos offers only authentic Mexican recipes and shares how Mexicans approach food. The concept of “comemos” is about how Mexicans savour each bite, spending time at the table enjoying each other’s company. Through chapter openers, sidebars, and recipe headnotes, Graf puts her recipes in Mexico’s rich cultural context. You will find information about specific tools and ingredients for the dishes, along with chapters for Los Básicos (The Basics), Desayuno (Breakfast), Botanas (Starters), La Comida (Lunch and Dinner), Para el Fin (For the Weekend), Sobremesa (Small Sweet Bites), and Bebidas (Beverages).
