“Certain cooking tools and ingredients are worth investing in. Others, not so much. Chefs reveal what truly deserves your extra dollars.”
The Splendid Table: Ceviche de Camarón y Leche de Coco
“I had this ceviche while lying on a secluded beach just outside Tulum. I had been driving for weeks and hadn’t taken a day off, so I decided to get an Airbnb for the weekend, and I gave myself one beach day. I rented a cabana, ate ceviches, and swam all afternoon. It was one of the best days of my life.”

“Rick Martinez’s Mi Cocina is a party. I love this book for the salsa chapter alone (I have so much salsa de aguacate in my freezer, ready for breakfast tacos and whatever else life throws at me), but it’s also an ambitious collection of regional Mexican recipes based on years of Rick’s research and travels. I love the citrus-filled Yucatàn chapter and can’t wait to make the Oaxacan albóndigas, one of my favorite foods of all time. Pre-order this book, buy some guajillo chiles in bulk, and start dreaming of the tortas that’ll soon be within reach.”
