Nopalito: A Mexican Kitchen | Gonzalo Guzmán, Stacy Adimando
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
A collection of 100 recipes for regional Mexican food from the popular San Francisco restaurant. The true spirit, roots, and flavors of regional Mexican cooking—from Puebla, Mexico City, Michoacán, the Yucatán, and beyond--come alive in this cookbook from Gonzalo Guzman, head chef at San Francisco restaurant Nopalito. Inspired by food straight from the sea and the land, Guzman transforms simple ingredients, such as masa and chiles, into bright and flavor-packed dishes. The book includes fundamental techniques of Mexican cuisine, insights into Mexican food and culture, and favorite recipes from Nopalito such as Crispy Red Quesadillas with Braised Pork and Pork Rinds; Toasted Corn with Crema, Ground Chile, and Queso Fresco; Tamales with Red Spiced Sunflower Seed Mole; and Salsa-Dipped Griddled Chorizo and Potato Sandwiches. Capped off by recipes for cocktails, aqua frescas, paletas, churros, and flan—Nopalito is your gateway to Mexico by way of California. This is a cookbook to be read, savored, and cooked from every night.

I haven't read a cookbook from beginning to end in years... This one is so well put together and truly does pay homage to the traditional Mexican cooking I grew up enjoying. It's fancy but still authentic recipes.

Homemade carnitas for my step-dad's birthday dinner at our place! I made a huge salad with cumin/lime dressing, tacos with all the things (pickled onions, cilantro, cotija, and some delicious guacamole), and then I made my own refried beans from the Nopalito cookbook! If you've never made your own, DO IT. Worth it! Paired it with a Boulevardier 🥃 using the new whiskey we got him as a present. Happy Hump Day!!
