As with the other cookbooks, this started with the authors own health journey. She is also an integrative holistic nutritionist and has a brand called The Vida Well, which is a wellness and education brand rooted in health and nutrition. She takes traditional Mexican dishes and updates them with health in mind.
Something different about this cookbook is she includes a case study on inflammation-based disease. She talks about things like good fats vs bad fats and the truth about cholesterol. As like the others there is a section about how Keto works. There is information on fasting, types of oils, superfoods (I am super excited cilantro is considered a super food).
Like the others she has a pantry staples list and a refrigerator and freezer staples list.
The recipes don't all have photos. However, there is a whole section on salsas and sauces which included a section on understanding chillis.
The recipes include a synopsis, the ingredients, the recipe, the yield, the preparation and cook time, and some include boxes with other tips.
One recipe I have wanted to try is the Mexican Red Cauliflower Rice which is included it's a veggie version of the popular side served at a lot of Mexican restaurants.
This was probably my least favorite of the newer cookbooks. The photos that were included were beautiful but there were not a lot of them. I also feel like for my type of cooking some of this looked a bit complicated. However, I am going to try that cauliflower rice recipe.
